Blending desserts with architecture and performance art, Bompas and Parr design spectacular food adventures to blow the minds, and taste buds, of all that experience them.
Formed in 2007 by old school friends Sam Bompas and Harry Parr, Bompas and Parr made their name making jelly, inspired by the 19th century culinary eccentricity from the likes of Agnes B Marshall, who from as early as the 1890’s was using liquid nitrogen in the kitchen. This creativity, mixed with cutting edge technology and Parr’s architectural background result in spectacular jellies, like miniature St Paul’s cathedrals and a jelly map of the USA.
More recent projects include a vast glowing jelly installation for San Francisco MOMA and Alcoholic Architecture - a walk in cloud of breathable G&T , while this weekend at the Big Chill festival, Bompas & Parr is building the Ziggurat of Flavour, a pyramidal installation containing a cloud of breathable fruit. Visitors will be able to contribute to their five-a-day just by breathing.
“The Ziggurat of Flavour will be a monolithic structure on the hills overlooking the Big Chill Festival. After negotiating the dense mist of vaporized fruit, visitors emerge onto a slide at the top of the structure. As they slide back down to the festival their kinetic energy will be harnessed to make the cloud even denser.”
