DIY dining: Self-service for Hacktivists

Diners visiting the Dutch restaurant fill in their orders with a pencil, and are then asked to set their own table. Visitors can choose from a selection of materials, and cut their own tablecloth and placemats from wallpaper samples.

The restaurant is fully fitted with Ikea furniture, arranged to imitate the winding, maze-like halls of a typical Ikea store.
