Some months ago I already told about my do-it-yourself-food-growing project. The project is running well and my boyfriend and I have already enjoyed some
home grown rucola, lettuce and basil. But when we recently went out for dinner,
we couldn’t take a break from working.
Growing your own food is hot. As soon as a local government
doesn’t know what to do with a leftover piece of land, an empty building or an
area which has social problems, they decide to start some urban farming
project. And it can do a lot good as I’ve discussed in this post.
Restaurants also seem to have discovered the advantages of
this new trend. They grow their own food or they make sure the menu has at
least some local dishes made from products obtained from local farmers. The
guests can just lean back in their relaxing chairs while the chef and his staff
prepare beautiful dishes with honest ingredients. More about this next week. But
my local movie theatre decided to be different.
IKEA is known for its cheap designer’s furniture enabling
everyone to live in a comfortable interior created all by themselves. IKEA does
some suggestions, but you can mix and match as long as you feel satisfied.
Prices are low so you don’t have to worry about the budget. And the creative
persons amongst us can even personalize the products more when they become IKEA
hackers.
My local movie theatre found two artists that decided
that everyone can be creative. They turned the restaurant of the theatre into an
IKEA hack space where every guest could create his own table; a table cloth or
placemats, some real plants or a paper flower, candle light or an electric one.
After you prepared your table and checked the menu you filled in the order list.
Then the waitress comes to pick it up. Then the delivery service comes in; before
you know your order is served right at your decorated table. It seems to be the
ideal combination of IKEA creativity and designers luxury.
