Bicycle wheels and old plastic bottles are among the recycled items on decoration at a coffee shop in Hanoi.
The coffee shop can be found in the Old Quarter of Hanoi and is located in a small alley. 95% of the decorative items on display in the coffee shop are recycled items, creating a strange yet attractive vibe. Nguyen Tho, the shop owner, said using the recycled items aims to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection. Bicycle wheels and old plastic bottles are key decorative items. Two visitors to the shop, Gracia from the US and Grace from Australia, were amazed at the unique design and ambiance. All recycled items have been hand-made. Each takes a significant amount of time to produce. Foreign tourists are surprised at seeing lights made from plastic bottles. The shop has a total of four floors. 1,000 plastic bottles containing coloured powder and water makes for an eye-catching spectacle.
The mural paintings on the wall leave a good impression on customers. The coffee shop is an ideal destination for young people to visit and hang out in. |
