We love the swiss-cheese-cum-retro-Panton aesthetic of newly opened Restaurant Praq (which means mashed food for children in Dutch!). Designed by studio Tjep, Prag is located in Amersfoot, the Netherlands and is a place "to welcome parents and their children without looking like a playground". Hmmm...

There are a ton fanciful interiors at www.tjep.com as well as one of the funnier bios we've seen in a while:

Frank Tjepkema is a designer but actually always wanted to become an astronaut. Not surprisingly, at a very young age, while other children were making their first drawings of flowers and bees Frank would be conceiving his first rocket designs. At first these were naive interpretations of archetypical rockets, resembling the one used by Tin Tin, but soon adults were quite astonished by the level of engineering and sophistication this young child was demonstrating. Frank was designing fully equipped machines neglecting no details. He went as far as to resolve problems like: how one would go to the loo when floating in outer space. His solution for this problem obtained him his first international patent with the RTD (retroactive toilet device). This resulted in a second place at the International Little Genius Trophy in '74. Frank had just turned four.
