Bubbels and Oysters for members

20-4-2012

Restaurant De Wits organizes a special Sunday for it’s members. There are free workshops during the afternoon (for example making pasta, taste wine or oysters) and a (paid) pre-taste of five new menu dishes at the evening. A simple but effective concept. Why? It creates community bonding, the free activities are interesting and there is a good change that people will return.

Lickable wallpaper

‘The Spot of Jaffa’ is a lickable wallpaper, here installed in an elevator. Inspired by Willy Wonka, Chef Heston Blumental and artist Damien Hirst created this wallpaper. Employees of Engine, a communications company in London, tried the first wallpaper of McVities Jaffa Cakes in their elevator.
