Best Restaurants and Bar Design Trends 2020
Cardboard Cafe
Indian architecture studio Nudes designed Cardboard Cafe in Mumbai, created from cardboard. Of course, cardboard serves only as a finishing material, but literally covers everything: from walls to chairs and lamps. To make the surface function longer and less afraid of moisture, the countertops are waxed. The message of the idea is quite simple – this is the theme of ecology and the demonstrative use of biodegradable material.
Unfurnished coffee shop
The design of the Milky’s coffee shop in Toronto, created by Batay-Csorba, is emphasized minimalist: despite the ample space for tables, there is no furniture.

Fruit Instagram Cafe
The Beijing ORIGINALFRESH Cafe boasts a bold fruit design that supports the theme of the fruit-based establishment’s menu. The cafe is focused on youth, a healthy lifestyle and Instagram culture. When choosing the concept, the authors were also inspired by the concept of Billboard Architecture of the 60-70s by architect Robert Venturi. The dominant design is a large motley fresco called Cutting Fruits (literally – “cutting fruit”). To somehow balance the brightness of the style, commercial equipment and other elements have simple shapes and white color.
Clash of colors in a traditional restaurant
The concept of the Opasly Tom restaurant in Warsaw is to serve national dishes inspired by slow food – a movement that emerged in the late 1980s, the essence of which is to use traditional cooking methods using local products.

This color is used for window frames and wall lamps.
Provence-style French Restaurant & Bar
Although the atmosphere of the restaurant and bar should be different, but in the institution AI3 in Atlanta decided to go the other way.

Hidden pearl
The Lion Restaurant in Rome has an elegant and luxurious interior, hidden behind a rather modest facade. The purpose of this idea is that the bulk of the people do not know about the restaurant.
