Creative urban dishes inspired by the world
For Oma ietje in Amsterdam Zuidoost, enbiun developed a cafe restaurant concept with creative urban dishes inspired by food from all over the world.A recent project we delivered was an update on the interior design and support of the staff towards a re-opening at Oma Ietje, Heesterveld.
Heesterveld is a buzzing area in the South East of Amsterdam, a neighbourhood on the outskirt of the ‘Zuid As Office Jungle’ which has become a residence for artist and small creative entrepeneurs.

The interior department created a mural to give the space a colourful, warm an recognisable feeling along with a new lightning plan and updated seating area.
