Surreal Staircase Interiors

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Green Bistro Adopts an Imaginative Yet Organic Look

— July 24, 2011 — Eco
Although the main focus for the interior design of the Green Bistro was to promote an organic vibe considering that this cafe clearly offers healthy and eco-friendly meals, I can't help but get sidetracked by how surreal it looks. The interior is filled with what appear to be stairs going nowhere and hypnotically undulating ceiling fixtures; I don't know how I could avoid getting so sidetracked.

Designed by architects Jörn Fröhlich and Siddik Erdogan, the Green Bistro is part of the Lengermann & Trieschmann Department Store located in Osnabrück, Germany. With the predominant use of natural plywood boards, some of which form stratified tables and counters, the Green Bistro does end up with an organic feel. I especially like how harmonized everything is.
Trend Themes
1. Surreal Interior Design - The Green Bistro's use of hypnotic ceiling fixtures and stairs going nowhere presents an opportunity for businesses to explore surreal interior design concepts.
2. Organic Interior Design - The predominant use of natural plywood boards in the Green Bistro's design offers a chance for businesses to incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable materials in their interior design plans.
3. Harmonized Interior Design - The Green Bistro's harmonized concept can inspire businesses to create a cohesive and consistent ambience in their interior design plans.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant Industry - Restaurants can adopt the Green Bistro's surreal and organic interiors to create an enticing and memorable dining experience for their customers.
2. Retail Industry - Retail stores can incorporate the Green Bistro's harmonized interior design concept to offer a consistent and well-designed shopping environment to their customers.
3. Hospitality Industry - Hotels can explore the Green Bistro's surreal and unique interior design concepts to offer their guests an experiential stay that they will remember.
