Interior Design Excellence : Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2010

When it comes to outstanding interior design for swanky places to eat and drink, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards mark the spots you simply must see. Each year judges who include writers from the design and hospitality markets vote on the works from top designers as well as those who aspire to be. The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards pay homage to both operators and designers for their excellence, and now for the second year they have done justice to the concept. The overall winners for the most outstanding Restaurant “Galvin La Chapelle” in London, and “The Tote” Bar in India are without a doubt worthy of their titles.

Dining Room Inspiration – Set 3

Mealtime is perhaps the longest span of time that members of a family spend togethor these days. For this period of time the dining room becomes the centre of family life. A well designed dining room not only tackles the functional aspect of serving and dining food, it also encourages conversation among family members.

In this post, we look at another set of inspirational dining rooms…

Perhaps there is nothing more therapeutic than a fine dining experience. Culinary sophistication and high standards make for a memorable time for anyone in a restaurant. But we design freaks seek more and often end up lusting over great interiors at places like these. Right now we are admiring some fascinating restaurant designs photographed by a Russian firm TABLE CHAIR Photos. Seems like a lot of time and money has gone into making these spaces perfect for food and conversations. Not only do they manage to lure a large number of food junkies, their interiors serve as good inspiration for home dining spaces too.

Moulded Plastic Chairs Rin

Moulded Plastic Chairs Rin There’s just no need for the functional to be boring – and the Rin Chair by Hiromichi Konno proves it. A smart moulded plastic chair from Fritz Hansen, the Rin chair would be at home in a range of situations around the house. It’s perfect for a home office or dining room… and would be a natural choice for a breakfast bar. The integrated cushion also makes it a comfortable choice. Rin chair makes a strong statement with a deliberate contrast between the predictable and the unpredictable. How? Well, the four-legged star shaped base is reassuringly stable and familiar. But the moulded seat shell features cut-outs that are less expected… each side has two absences, two voids. Rin chair is a paradox. Available in a range of solid, bright colours such as green or red, the Rin chair also looks sublime in black or white. Designed by Hiromichi Konno, from Fritz Hansen.
