Evocative Eating

Restaurants create sentimental dining experiences through nostalgic designs

Implications - Restaurants are meeting a yearning for simpler times through old fashioned interior decor. In addition to providing an alternative and memorable dining experience, these nostalgic concepts also provide a highly sought after source of disconnect from constant communication and modern connectivity.
Workshop Question - What would your brand look like if it were transported into the past? How could you make that look appealing to consumers?
Trend Themes
1. Nostalgic Decor - Businesses can differentiate themselves through the creation of older interior decor options such as retro diner spots that give consumers a chance to disconnect.
2. Aviation-themed Interiors - Brands can create comfortable and unique spaces that feature aviation-themed decor options that will appeal to nostalgic travelers.
3. Cinematic Interior Design - Fashion cafes that tie together movie elements and retro design habits into a cafe concept can delight fashion enthusiasts and film lovers alike.
Industry Implications
1. Food Service - Food and beverage brands can create restaurants and bakeries with on-trend retro or nostalgic themes to help differentiate themselves and offer a more memorable dining experience.
2. Airport Lounges - Airport brands can create spaces that provide travelers with a sense of relaxation and comfort through aviation-themed decor options that allow them to disconnect.
3. Fashion Design - Fashion and retail brands can create unique and immersive shopping environments by incorporating elements of nostalgic cinematic design and decor into their store experience.
