About Bompas & Parr
Bompas & Parr leads in flavour based experience design, culinary research, architectural
installations and contemporary food design. Founded by Sam Bompas and Harry Parr in
2007 the early work of the studio used jelly as a vehicle to research the crossmodal
correspondences of the senses and the relationship between food and architecture. The
studio first came to prominence through its expertise in jelly making, but has since gone on to
create immersive flavour based experiences ranging from an inhabitable cloud of gin and
tonic, a chocolate climbing wall and a Taste Experience for the Guinness Storehouse in
Dublin, officially the best place to taste Guinness in the world.
The studio works with some of the worldʼs biggest companies, (Diageo, Cargill, MercedesBenz) and the worldʼs foremost cultural institutions (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture, Moscow).
Bompas and Parr have written three cook books, published in London and New York, and
recently published a fourth Tutti Frutti with Bompas & Parr and Friends through Bompas &
Parr Editions the studio's publishing house dedicated to printing niche food publications, both
contemporary and historic
Named by the independent as ʻone of the 15 people who will define the future of arts in
Britainʼ and voted into the 2011 creativity 50 as two of the most creative people working
today.
