Restaurant (Space Series 2)
2010 | ISBN: 9881887399 | English | 272 pages | PDF | 31.05 MB
This
issue of Space focuses on all kinds of restaurants from different parts
of the world. The restaurants are a visual treat so that we enjoy a
riot of colours; an exciting balance of light and dark or pools of
glowing soft lights; and sleek or tactile finishes. We can just imagine
the excited crowds, or intimate patrons, that these restaurants attract,
and the heady aromas that waft!
After
going through these designs, you will notice a common thread. Designers
the world over are showing a greater concern for the environment. The
modern ethic is to salvage and re-use. Discarded (and sometimes even
lowly) objects such as Y sockets find a new lease of life as
chandeliers. It’s not the collection of designer objects that ensures
success but rather how the designer carefully brings diverse elements
together.
Designers
are forever asked what inspires them. The answer to that is just about
everything - movies, books, painting, periods of time in history,
location! What is unusual this year is that in Hong Kong/ China, at
least three projects were inspired by the humble egg.
Also
in this issue, we have low-budget eateries with a very dedicated
clientele – the school canteen. These are simple but challenging for
requiring good space planning and multiple usage.
We
have a number of award-winning restaurants but occasionally, at the
other end of the scale, designers just want to have fun. How else can
you explain the statue of a pig that revolves every hour in the middle
of a restaurant? Patrons love it!
