MOVEMENT POP-UP CAFE

Pop-Up's are everywhere at the moment but this is absolutely brilliant.

With thousands of extra visitors expected in the Greenwich, South East London for the Olympics, the fresh and colourful MVMNT Cafe was built in only 16 days and is the vision of British designer and artist Morag Myerscough in collaboration with the Greenwich Cooperative Development Agency and official Olympic poet Lemn Sissay who's words from poem 'Shipping Good' appears on the colourful hoarding.

papaya playa project

Pop-up stores and restaurant's have been coming and going for a while now but Design Hotels have stepped it up a notch with the first large scale 'pop-up hotel' concept.

The Papaya Playa Project is a camp of 99 rustic cabanas situated smack bang on the white sands of the Caribbean Sea in Tulum, Mexico. Originally abandoned as a luxury resort development during the global financial crisis, Design Hotels and a group of like minded players in food, hospitality and design have teamed up to convert it into a communal playground of simple eco-luxury. The project also includes a regular line-up of international music acts to keep the party going until doors close on May 5, 2012.

Better add this to the list for when I arrive in Mexico - 63 days and counting xx
