It's lunch time at work, and you decide to visit the company-run cafeteria downstairs. Only when you get there, it seems as though you took the red pill, and went down the rabbit hole. Fret not, it is only wacky designer Tobias Rehberger who designed your cafeteria.

Tobias Rehberger (who teamed with Finnish furniture house [Artek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-60-edition-three)) won the best artist Golden Lion at the 53rd International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. His cafeteria, located at the [Palazzo delle Exposizioni della Biennale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julie-cloos-mlsgaard), is available for public view until November 22.
