HKDI DESIS Lab for Social Design Research  - OPEN Food Workshop


The Open Food Workshop (OFW) was held on 29 November 2014 as part of the Open Design Forum (ODF) at the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI).

The ODF provides an open platform where active citizens in Hong Kong engage with international social design pioneers to collaboratively explore new ways of co-creating an open society.



As part of the forum’s lunch session, the OFW went beyond simply serving food. It emphasised not only the ingredients and dishes but, more importantly,

the act of sharing a meal—highlighting the connections built between people and the meaningful conversations that emerged around the table.
