Description
some of the most cutting-edge examples in restaurant design and architecture
from around the worldIn our fast-paced global economy, people are
working increasingly harder, cooking less and, therefore, spending more and
more time in restaurants. As a result, the restaurant space has become steadily
more important in relation to the restaurant owner's conceptual vision. As we
are told in the preface to Dining Out: The New Restaurant Interior Design
Book, "creating a story that connects with people is a key ingredient in
creating a good restaurant design". The book takes the reader on a journey to
some of the most cutting-edge examples in restaurant design and architecture
from around the world. With a descriptive text for each project, it focuses on the
craftmanship, color schemes, decorative details, lighting and furnishings that
form the identity of the space, serving as a source of inspiration and
reference for professional designers, foodies and other people involved in the
restaurant business. Interior and exterior photographs, as well as blueprints
of each design, present the reader with a rich range of styles, from modern minimalist
spaces to ones defined by bold contemporary colors, a sleek industrial look or designs
that look to the past for inspiration. We learn about the importance of the
relationship between interior design and branding and how the featured designers
use different materials to achieve a specific aesthetic and atmosphere, in
addition to the functional features of the space, thereby allowing them to turn
their clients' vision into a reality.
