Bompas & Parr’s new sensory installation at Bunjil Place in Casey, Australia will feature the Indigenous chocolate lily, celery and apple flavours as edible fog.
Kicking off on 24 June, Casey Cornucopia is Bompas & Parr‘s first interactive installation in Australia. Home to the world’s first edible mist, the attraction is available through 17 July.
The experience design studio teamed up with JPL Flavour Technologies to create the ‘fruit weather’, which is inspired by the region’s food habits and produce.
Bringing to life the fruit, vegetables and plants that are Indigenous to the area, the fruity fog is released from the base of oversized fruit sculptures via powerful fog machines.
“One of the more notable flavours is the chocolate lily, which has been selected for its local Indigenous connections, its beauty, and of course its unexpected scent,” says a media release.
Guests will “discover the story behind the chocolate lily by joining the daily informative tours and also attend the Cornucopia documentary series, screened daily”.
Part of Casey’s Winter Arts Festival, Casey Cornucopia will also offer educational workshops, garden tours, a local food hub and an exclusive dining programme.

“Bompas & Parr are thrilled to present Casey Cornucopia, championing the region’s vibrant Indigenous produce through a collision of meteorology and pomology,” said Sam Bompas.
Last year, Bompas & Parr unveiled the world’s first ‘flavour rainbow’ in London, created using bespoke light refracted through multicoloured moisture.
“Flavour and meteorology have always inspired us; to see them collide so spectacularly is a dream of mystical proportions come true,” said Harry Parr.
