A trendy interior

Yum Upkot was transformed into an 'old grocery shop'. And the theme can be found everywhere. From the entrance where you can read Yum Upkot's story on a menu, to the elevator that has been transformed into a grocery cabinet. And if you step into the study café, you find yourself in a real grocery shop with the grocery cabinet filled with weck pots. Did you know that the herbs and sweets in the weck pots were made from waste? If that's not upcycling!

And our Look & Feel team thought of the smallest details. For example, the floor numbers were made from old fruit crates and the 3 blocks were each given a yummie name: The Taste, The Bite and The Experience.
