A new pop-up pizza restaurant has been opened in Helston in Cornwall, where every piece of furniture was made by the owners from chipboard to try to keep costs down.
The restaurant, which is proving extremely popular with local and tourists alike, is the brainchild of Rowan Trelowarren, the son of local restaurateurs, who is hoping the pop-up will help fund his final year at Central St Martins in London.
He explained to West Briton newspaper that the restaurant is the very opposite of ‘fine dining’ and that he and his friend Hannah Stephens made all the furniture from chipboard and even used the light-weight, low-costs material to construct a vast wine rack.
Chipboard products like Contiboard make the construction of furniture, shelving and cupboards very quick and easy. Contiboard is also made from timber sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring it is an ethical choice.
Rowan explained that the chipboard and the casual aesthetic added to the vibe they wanted to create. He told the paper: "We didn't want it to be all 'done' and neat. We want people to come and eat fantastic pizza and drink great wine without having to spend an arm and a leg – or having to dress up if they don't want to."
