Creative product designers Designgoat have partnered with screen printers me&him&you to create a truly unique pop-up restaurant for two as part of the ‘Transform Your City’ collaboration between OFFSET Festival and Absolut Vodka. For five nights only, the small Perspex box will cater for just two lucky people per evening, providing them with a very special dining experience breaking down barriers by seating the guests right next to the chef in the kitchen to allow education and banter between the chef and diners.
To be in with a chance to win this once in a lifetime experience in a secret location, Dubliners have to find the mini recreation of the restaurant on College Green and tweet a picture of it using the hashtag #TransformYourCity. The restaurant will be taken over by a different well-known chef each night who will incorporate Absolut Vodka into their sumptuous feast. The chef’s name will be revealed along the winners on the morning of the evening meal. The first sitting is the 13th March and the final will be 20th March.
The installation is part of a collaboration between Absolut Vodka and OFFSET 2014 to celebrate Dublin city’s innate creativity by inviting ten Irish artists and creative visionaries to ‘Transform Your City’. Between March 4th – 21st, Dublin city is being transformed into a canvas for artists, photographers, illustrators and designers as they create installations that amuse and inspire people on the streets in what is anticipated to become one of the most ambitious public creative projects Dublin has ever seen. It was devised to showcase the great creativity within the city and celebrate our connection to, and aspirations for, our capital.
People interested in the project can follow progress on twitter using #transformyourcity @absolutirl and @weloveoffset or log onto www.iloveoffset.com for additional information and insights. Jane Chmara, Marketing Manager of Absolut Vodka said “Dublin city has never been more alive creatively. We want to give Ireland’s most talented artists a platform to express their love for Dublin and help them realise their vision for the capital. The synergy created by working with OFFSET, Ireland’s most important creative event is inspiring.”
