FOODI

This two-year-old brand was the manifestation of a dream. As London-based designer Stephen Akpotaime professes, “I love food, I dreamt of a chicken.” Using the concept of food, Stephen’s aim is to make you think with some, “food for thought”. Citing importance of fair trade and a renewed sense of environmental stewardship, he makes sure his product are eco-friendly. Each piece is also numbered as only a limited number of each style is printed and sold. Talking about the future, he told Lemon Brands he is looking to customer feedback to tell him where to take Foodi saying, "I will let you tell me because you are the customer.”
