How to design a restaurant so it can be a unique place to attract young customers?
The designer thinks that restaurants do not need specific themes. A place where provides comfortable surroundings and strong expression surely will take its market share. For instance, it is not a piece of symphony or theme song, but it is a pop. First of all, in the imagination of the designer, there is a honeycomb with lots of hexagons. Honeycomb is a natural creation, while it hold the feature of industrial artificial style.
Then the restaurant gets the debut. The designer watches the curious eyes and chewing mouths of customers, he can not help pondering, “These modern citizens are as busy as bees, but are their lives as sweet as honey?”
