pPortland-based chef Colleen French of the a href=”http://www.facebook.com/pages/Renegade-Dinner-Club/198746656676″Renegade Dinner Club/a has joined forces with American design collective a href=”http://www.vontundra.com/miller-carport”Von Tundra/a to create an installation and series of dinner-based events in Specific Merchandise, a storefront gallery in Los Angeles. They’ll fill the space with hand-made furniture and tableware, and invite you to a series of home-cooked meals. /p

pThe goal is simple: “to share our craft-based practices with the community and create tangible connections between Slow Food and Slow Design.”/p

pThey need a little bit of help funding it, so they’ve turned to Kickstarter. For your pledge, you’ll get a special food or design item from Colleen French or Von Tundra. For example, for $20, you’ll get French’s recipe booklet. For $75, you’ll get a pair of quilted hot pads designed and made by Von Tundra. Not a bad deal at all! /p
