Thousands of old bottles along with a variety of tyres and tractor engines have been recycled for the decoration of the café.

Nguyen Van Tho, 37, spent more than one year collecting the scraps from localities near Hanoi.

The majority of the objects in the café were recycled things which were then designed as decorative items by Tho and his friends.
