trend report: bar/restaurant design: nostalgia
we have recently seen the emergence of nostalgia in bar and restaurant design which will continue through into 2025.
think velvety textures, wooden tones, and geometric shapes combined with warm colours that invoke echoes of the past. lighting plays a huge role in setting the mood for memory and contemporary lighting can help keep the design current and fresh.
in other schemes, designers may highlight vintage ceiling beams and feature reclaimed furniture which also ties in nicely with the ongoing need for sustainability and conscious design.
the key to a successful design is the balance between old and new favouring nostalgia over novelty with a focus placed on how people interact with an interior.
beginners diner, san diego by ch projects & post company
beginners diner is one of five f&b venues opened at san diego’s lafayette hotel. the eatery's chrome frontage and neon signs draw customers into a 1940s-inspired diner. once inside pops of chrome, rich red upholstery, cherry wood panelling and sconce lights evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia and pay tribute to the traditional americana dishes served.
fotografiska museum, berlin by studio aisslinger
this contemporary museum of photography, art, and culture also features a restaurant, bars, a cafe, and a ballroom alongside its extensive gallery space.
the listed building that once homed the famous kunsthaus tacheles artists’ squat, has been extensively renovated though the large-scale graffiti protected by preservation orders remains. in contrast to this gritty backdrop studio aisslinger successfully combined high-end finishes, a retro colour palette and mid-century modern furniture creating the perfect mix of old and new.
de witt, dordrecht, by studio modijefsky
studio modijefsky is at the forefront of hospitality design in the netherlands. their designs often lean into nostalgia through their use of materials and colour schemes and by relating design to the location's context. however, thoughtful space planning and design maintain a contemporary feel. de witt, a brasserie and cinema space, is a perfect example of this.
