This children's restaurant in Dubai is not like others. Instead of a vibrant and engaging color palette that promotes play and whimsicality, the aesthetic development of the business is approached from a very different angle. Sneha Divias Atelier is the design firm tasked with facilitating the visual experience and the name of the children's restaurant is 'White & The Bear.'
The studio attempted to boast a clean and minimalist aesthetic by employing neutral tones, especially white, and using timber for the furniture. The goal was to "not overstimulate the senses," but to facilitate a more tranquil experience for guests, sparking their curiosity.
Aside from being a children's restaurant, White & The Bear also doubles as a retail space, signifying that the hybridization of businesses is still a popular way to entice consumers.
