The “Food Labyrinth” at the UnBox Festival 2012, held at New Delhi, aimed to challenge usual notions of experiencing and tasting food. The design of the stall had to support this activity not only practically, but also in essence. While the team at Anagram Architects had to be sustainable, they also had to design something that was contemporary and would allow for a lot of experimentation.
They used wooden cargo pallets and plywood boards to create work counters and consoles. The natural slots formed in this arrangement became shelves. Garnishes and herbs were provided by kokedama hangings from a tree on site. The team, led by Vaibhav Dimri and Madhav Raman went about designing and detailing each work console specifically for each activity using modular permutations of the pallet boxes for appropriate heights, depths and widths.
