London is always nice, but from the 15th of September onwards it also has great food.

HEL YES is a pop up designer restaurant and exhibition offering a taste of Finnish food and design during London Design Festival 15.9. – 3.10.2010. You can expect pure, simple, primitive tastes and some game & berries.

Here are some links to articles about it.

‘Move over Swedes; it’s Finland’s turn to make waves.’ (Style.com)

‘This is one of those events which aims to change your mind about a place. Or not, if the Helsinki of your imagination is full of fabulous contemporary textiles, delicious food and strange tables’ (Independent.co.uk)

More about the designers on the article ‘Fin Things’ (vogue.co.uk)
