This cafe in Monaco is every Pantone fan's dream

In Monaco, design-loving visitors are quenching their thirst and satisfying their cravings and hunger at a pop-up restaurant inspired by the iconic Pantone Matching System.

Located within the Grimaldi Forum, along the coast on Princess Grace Avenue, the Pantone Cafe serves up an extensive menu of salads, sandwiches, eclairs, ice cream, coffee, juices and more – all of which have been matched to a Pantone color code.

Customers are able to order things like Pink Ham and Butter 13-2804 sandwich or Pistachio Green 19-1625 eclair. But it's not just the menu that comes with its own Pantone hue: The napkins, tables, chairs cups and beverage dispensers all also have corresponding color codes. Check out some images of the Pantone Cafe below:

Eric's attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the image of the eroticized child-woman is familiar throughout his work. Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it. Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...
