Art in Restaurants and Dining Spaces

In a restaurant, art sets the appetite before the menu does. It should match the cuisine, the light and the rhythm of service.

Hotel restaurants change mood through the day: bright for breakfast, warm for dinner. Art in these spaces has to work in both settings, and it has to support the identity of the cuisine.

Art that matches the menu

A Cantonese restaurant, an Italian trattoria and an all-day dining room each call for a different visual language. Ink paintings, ceramics, contemporary photography or textile works can all set the right expectation before the first dish arrives.

Private dining rooms

Private rooms are where hosts entertain important guests. A single strong work on the main wall gives each room its own name and personality, which also helps the sales team present them.

Diners remember the table, the light and the picture on the wall.

Practical considerations

Kitchens bring steam, heat and grease. Sealed frames, washable surfaces and careful placement away from service routes keep the art in good condition.
