Spear’s Review

Working in partnership with brands such as Coca-Cola, LVMH and Mercedes, Bompas & Parr has carved a niche for multi-sensory events and experiences. Harry Parr, one half of the founding duo, began his career as an architect. He swiftly pivoted when he and business partner Sam Bompas began creating ornate architectural structures made out of jelly. 

The pair are now famed as the masterminds behind London’s 2013 New Year’s Eve multi-sensory firework spectacle. On that occasion, spectators could not only see the fireworks, but taste the fruit: peach snow, edible banana confetti and Seville orange bubbles. 

Bompas & Parr’s 2018 exhibition at the British Museum of Food is another illustrious addition to the firm’s long list of projects. SCOOP: A Wonderful Ice Cream World, one of the museum’s first offered experiences, was the innovative firm’s true highlight of the past few years, showcasing 14,000 ice cream-based objects.
