Jelly Sculptures, Gourmet Bathing and Typeface Talk

Apr 27, 2025

This week’s lineup includes:
→ Jelly sculptures and fingertip-painted portraits
→ The podcast that made bathing high art
→ Plus: the typeface, talk, and tool that deserve a place in your creative temple

The long Easter weekend reminded us what’s possible: a little extra sleep, a lot more sunlight, and the sense that London is finally waking up. The sun’s creeping in earlier, jackets are getting lighter, and plans are starting to sound exciting again.

Tasty Things to See

Sensorium – The Jelly Exhibition by Bompas & Parr
📍Regent Street
A sensory playground of jelly cathedrals and edible landscapes. This isn’t dessert—it’s full-blown design theatre. Slippery, surreal, and delightfully unserious.

Amoako Boafo: I Do Not Come to You by Chance
📍Gagosian Grosvenor Hill | Until May 24
A deeply personal UK debut from the Ghanaian artist known for his emotive fingertip portraits. Featuring scenes from his childhood courtyard in Accra, this show pulses with soul, strength, and intimacy.

Flowers Forever: Flora in Contemporary Art & Culture
📍Saatchi Gallery
A blooming collection of works exploring the cultural power of flowers. From symbolism to psychedelia, petals are getting political—and personal.

Tasty Things to Taste

Fonda
📍Regent Street
This Mexican spot hits hard with depth, spice, and swagger. Don’t miss the cod taco barbacoa or the perfectly sharp margaritas.

The Dover at 180 The Strand
📍Strand
Equal parts cocktail bar and creative haunt. Think cucumber basil martinis, slick lighting, and a vibey vibe.

Tasty Talks & Type

British Standard Type – SPYRE
A modernist typeface with warmth and character. It’s giving: brutalist with a soul.

David Sedaris Armchair Expert

Nicer Tuesdays – May Edition

A night of design stories, big ideas, and good vibes. Brought to you by It’s Nice That.

Tasty Pods & Shows

🎧 Making WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing
The story of a cult print mag that turned bathing into a lifestyle movement. It’s steamy, strange, and soaked in 70s LA cool.

📺 OK OK, I'm Late But… The Last of Us
Finally caving—and wow. Emotional apocalypse, fungal horror, and the slow burn of found family. (Yes, it lives up to the hype.)
