Restaurant St. Barts - Tues 17th Oct
Experiential Roundtable
Lighting the Senses
We often think of the aesthetic concept of an F&B space as the most critical part of the design. Few would argue with this. But sight is only one of our senses. To have a unique sensory experience, surely all the senses need to be considered? How does this affect how we design? Do we even consider the sounds, smell and touch that we are to encounter?
By invitation.
