We are once again looking for designers to create unique food carts for the fifth annual The Stop’s Night Market, being held this June in Toronto. The selected carts will be used as vending stations for some of the city’s best restaurants and local wineries. This popular event brings together creatives from Toronto’s culinary, design, performance, and graphic arts sectors, celebrating diversity, community, and the power of food.

Studio North experiment with colours for the interior design of the booth.
In order to contrast the wooden exterior, bold choices of colour are intended to shock and excite the viewer through its vibrancy and saturation. Red, orange, and yellow are colours often associated with hunger and appetite.
The exhibition will consist of two views: One, speaks to The Stop and their mandate around local food security and pro bono work. The exterior will lack colour to emphasizes the reality of the issue, and how “it’s not pretty”.
The other view is filled with utensils, in highly saturated display boxes. This highlights how design is about aesthetics as well as serving a purpose – to promote awareness of social issues.

In the workshop, Emma and Maral use the bandsaw to cut up wooden panels for a test box of the interior. Varying wood stains are used to test interior colour options and how it will contrast with the raw and unfinished wooden exterior.
The One Stop Shop by Nisha Sewell is a planter that reflects the core values that The Stop Community Food Center believes in – providing people with fresh food in a sustainable way. This piece allows you to grow food in your home. Herbs are an integral part of the cooking process and having these fresh organic crops available changes the experience of cooking and how one relates to their senses and experiences.
Come see us at The Stop Night Market event on June 18th and June 19th and purchase lovely handcrafted one-of-a-kind work for only $60.00. All proceeds go to The Stop’s Anti-Hunger programs.
