The fast food of the future

We’ve reimagined five classic dishes for a tastier tomorrow

Three years ago, we introduced the world to Tomorrow’s Meatball — a visual rethinking of IKEA’s iconic meatball using alternative ingredients such as insects, algae, and lab-grown meat.

Since then we’ve been developing a wider selection of dishes that showcase the kind of food we could one day be eating. Of course, they’re fresh from our test kitchen—so don’t expect to see them on IKEA’s menu.

At SPACE10, our research is rooted in an important principle. Dishes shouldn’t just be healthy or sustainable. They must be delicious, too.

To change people’s minds about food, to inspire them to try new ingredients, we can’t just appeal to the intellect — we have to titillate their taste buds.

Which is why we’ve been working with our chef-in-residence to come up with dishes that look good, taste good, and are good for people and planet.

It’s time, then, to put some of those dishes on the menu — starting with a playful take on our favourite fast-food.
