Designer Camille Walala has turned the London Design Museum's shop into a pop-up supermarket selling artist-designed foods.
Opening to the public tomorrow, the shop at the Design Museum aims to help people "nourish their creativity" as the UK emerges out of a three-month coronavirus lockdown when supermarkets were one of the few places to remain open.

Named Supermarket, the initiative is curated by Walala with artists Charlotte Edey, Holly Warburton, Isadora Lima, Jess Warby, Joey Yu, Katherine Plumb, Katie Kimmel, Kentaro Okawara, and Michaela Yearwood-Dan designing foods for the store.
