When he is not in his studio in Kitisuru, making lamps, coffee bar stools, or the coffee bars themselves, all out of recycled materials, you will find Oliver Weichelt in the kitchen making fresh meals for his wife, the German artist Milena Weichelt and himself.

“I love to cook,” Oliver tells the BDLife when we visit his home and taste his freshly-made banana and lemon sweet bread that he has just baked. He had even made the dough, rolling and pounding it until it was ready to mix in the almost-spoilt bananas.
