Praq by Tjep.
June 26, 2008 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Architecture & Design
I was inspired today to post some architecture, so I was really happy when I came across this amazing little restaurant called Prak. Prak is a unique concept that creates a place to eat that’s both fun for kids and adults, sort of like a well-designed, contemporary, Chuck E. Cheese!
The space was designed by the folks over at Tjep., a Dutch design agency that actually makes a ton of amazing stuff. I feel like they did such an amazing job that it’s hard to know where to start! First thing I noticed is all the great shapes and exposed wood beams. Then probably the color palette which is pretty much natural wood, white, teal blues, pinks, and oranges. I also really love that they mixed giant pieces of colorful acrylic with a more traditional furniture pieces. The only downside I could see to this place is that unfortunately, it’s made for children to run around in!
I also thought it was cute that Praq in Dutch means “mashed food”! Definitely check out the rest of Tjep.’s work, it totally made my day so far.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Very graphic: lines, squares, rounds. Nice job. I imagine the adults walking through the white door while the kids would go through the rounds of the wall. :)

Naturally, I always check your blog before that blog, so I thought they were the same thing… Hahaha why do the two names have to sound so alike. :S
