INTERSTICE Designs interactive furnishings for the San Francisco Street Food Festival 2015

This year the SFSFF is at Forest City’s Pier 70 on the SF waterfront. Now in our sixth year of partnership with La Cocina, INTERSTICE Architects designed and led the volunteer construction effort to reanimate thousands of shipping palettes and recycled plywood to create banquettes, serpentine benches, bars and entire islands for stage seating, eating, socializing, dining and drinking at this year’s fabulous three day event hosting the festival’s growing popularity and fan base.

 

Personally and professionally, INTERSTICE Architects create from an immersed point of view with a deep commitment to the ephemeral urban experience. We strive to explore the potential of communities through their appropriation of urban space, and enhancing the connection between San Francisco’s food culture with the greater community through design by using unconventional materials to create inventive forms. This festival and its important contribution to the Non Profit La Cocina – an inspiring woman centered entrepreneurial kitchen incubator is a perfect venue for our dual disciplinary focus.

La Cocina is a groundbreaking food business incubator that has serving the Bay Area since 2005. Their mission is to cultivate low income food entrepreneurs as they formalize and grow their business by providing affordable kitchen space, industry specific technical assistance and access to market opportunities.

Come support and celebrate La Cocina’s fantastic efforts by joining us in enjoying all of the food at the San Francisco Street Food Festival! And relax on the islands of giant street scale furnishings that we developed for the ephemeral event. – before they all go back to being shipping pallets again next week!
