Look closely, can you spot the gnomes having coffee and cake? Or the mermaid, mountain trolls and the huldra – a beautiful woman with a cow’s tail? Can you see the clusters of mushrooms and flowers and birds? It’s all there.
The whole of Fika will be transformed to an urban forest where you can go Hidden Folk spotting. Illustrations by Emma Farrarons will be dotted around all the walls with captivating detail. For those who are not well versed in Scandinavian geography, a playful map will help you find your bearings. It would come as no surprise that even the Scandi gnomes have style! You are invited to peer inside the home of a Scandinavian gnome – The cross-section view of the tree trunk apartment is obviously furnished with iconic and minimalist Nordic designs.
Here’s a sneaky peek of the illustrator at work. She's also a contributor to Amelia's Magazine, aren't we lucky?!
Fika has been inspired by Emma’s work and thus the menu for Hidden Folk has been designed to ‘trick and tease’ the mind. You will have the chance to try black truffle potatoes, purple carrots, elk burgers and magical cocktails with dill and smoke. A visit to Fika this summer will be a sensory explosion, so why not drop in next time you are in Brick Lane?
Opening times: 12.00-23.00 (Mon-Thursday), 12 – 00 (Friday), 10 – 00 (Saturday), 10 – 23 (Sunday)
