Joben BistroThe fantastical <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joben-Bistro/233187926858052" target="_blank">Joben Bistro</a> in Cluj-Napoca, Romania is a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/steampunk-rotary-cellphone-makes-technology-tactile-again/">steam punk’s dream</a>, with an all encompassing tableau of upcycled objects. Designed by 6<sup>th</sup> Sense, the interior brings together elements like disused mechanisms, copper piping, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/scrap-metal-and-old-timber-team-up-for-a-stylish-modern-coffee-table/">reclaimed wood</a> and old gears to create an aesthetic right out of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The scene is centered around a vintage zeppelin that casts an eerie glow on the crowd with warm LED lights. More details after the jump.1
