# Pop-Up Paper Eateries This Pop Up Food and Drink Venue in Sydney Uses Cardboard Tubes for Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-03-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-food References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2016/03/15/cardboard-tubes-make-creative-space-for-food-vendors/) & [foolscapstudio.au](http://www.foolscapstudio.com.au/) Developed as a temporary pop up food and drink venue, this space is located in Sydney, Australia to help fill a vacant retail section. Designed by the Foolscap Studio, the spaces were created in collaboration with Lendlease to offer vendors a space to offer laid-back fare. Including vendors like Edition Coffee Roasters, Gin&It, Riva Reno Gelato, Belle’s Hot Chicken and Mamak, the pop up food and drink space is most revered for its design aesthetic. The temporary space is outfitted with [cardboard tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonoco-paper-can) that offer a beautiful ambience and help to use materials that can be easily recycled. This enables the notion of pop-up shops and other kinds of [temporary retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-space) to be more eco-friendly rather than have to use raw materials that will simply go off to a landfill after use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Pop-ups:** Creating pop-up retail spaces that are environmentally conscious. - **Cardboard Design:** Using cardboard tubes to create unique and sustainable designs for events and spaces. - **Laid-back Fare:** Offering relaxed and casual food and drink options in temporary pop-up locations. ### Where This Applies - **Event Planning:** Partnering with eco-friendly vendors to create unique event spaces with sustainable materials. - **Retail:** Creating temporary pop-up shops that utilize sustainable materials and offer a laid-back atmosphere. - **Hospitality:** Providing casual and eco-friendly food and drink options for pop-up events and venues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop-Up Event Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-space-concepts.md) - [Island Concept Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10am-apotheke.md) - [Upcycled Waste Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-furniture-design.md) - [Sustainable Concise Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tube-collection.md) - [Recycled Bar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-installation.md) - [Cardboard Box-Transformed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/box-exhibition.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pop-Up Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-green-vic.md) - [Sustainable Cafe Delivery Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-pulp-coffee-carrier.md) - [Pop-Up Concept Grocery Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/another-pantry.md)
