Feast your eyes: The art of hospitality design
Restaurants and bars offer architects and interior designers the opportunity to design for both style and entertainment; aesthetics and function must come together to create ambiance and conviviality in a way that both makes a statement and keeps clients wanting to come back. The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards-the world's only awards dedicated to hospitality design-recognizes the importance of this particular field, and is dedicated to singling out the world's most exceptional settings for eating and drinking. Each year, entries are submitted from all types of sectors, including hotels, offices, transport, industry, fine dining, education, sports and leisure, healthcare, government, aviation, cruise, and retail. A panel of top design, lifestyle, and hospitality professionals judges the entries.
Divided into five chapters by continent-Americas, Asia, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Oceania-the book features the 100 establishments worldwide that were selected by the panel. Texts include chapter introductions by experts and judges such as Tony Chambers (editor-in-chief of Wallpaper) and designer Karim Rashid, and a preface by the author and founder of the awards, Marco Rebora.
