Come Rain Or Come Shine

We LOVE Antto Melasniemi. He’s a true individual. Who else would bring a solar-powered kitchen? To Leeds? In September?  Our overseas finalist, all the way from Helsinki, came up with the idea as an environmental and gastronomic art project designed to highlight key contemporary themes: a nature-driven process, flexibility and immediacy. Depending on the sun, the nature-driven kitchen could be serving up a solar barbecue — or a salad. So Antto will also be testing people’s flexibility. If it rains, we’ll all have to adapt. Are you up for it?
