1. Flooring: Evoke Luxury Vinyl Restaurants are high foot-traffic environments or they go out of business, making durable flooring essential to withstand wear. Crafting an ideal dinning experience starts with the customer’s very first step and the warm, natural-looking Evoke Luxury Vinyl flooring presents an ideal combination of beauty and durability in realistic wood. Evoke’s manufacturing capabilities allow top and edge, hand-scraped detailing to make each plank feel as genuine as real wood without out all the maintenance. www.evokeflooring.com 2. Tables: FLAT Self-Leveling Table Base Few things can ruin a diner’s experience faster than a wobbly table. FLAT Technologies’ ingenious, hydraulic self-leveling table bases allow each of the base’s four feet to individually adjust to any surface. With variability between pads of up to 8mm, adjoining multiple tables are automatically aligned and level when group seating is put together. Once the table is placed, the feet lock into position keeping it level and stable – no more stuffing coasters under the feet. www.flattech.com 3. Display: Vintage View Wine Storage Savvy restaurateurs know effective merchandizing is essential to strong sales and an elegant label-forward wine display is a great way to showcase high revenue products. Vintage View’s diverse wine storage options include wall mounted, freestanding and customizable designed displays. The wall-mounted Vino Pins, for example, is a minimalist design available in aluminum, anodized black, and the ultra-sleek clear acrylic, which creates the effect of a floating display. www.vintageview.com 4. Lighting: The Dallas Chandelier by Arteriors Nothing enhances ambiance more than lighting. Like a halo over the room, carefully selected decorative lighting sets the tone for the guest’s experience. Lighting selections are virtually endless and designers consider everything about the client’s theme, menu, customer and objectives in blending different lighting fixtures together to reveal layers of depth within restaurants. As an example, Dallas Chandelier by Arteriors combines a midcentury-inspired aesthetic and a 21st century take on Sputnik to become a glowing sculpture suspended in space above the diner’s horizon. www.arteriorshome.com 5. Tile: Mosaico Digitale Tying together many different elements from furnishings and lighting to floors and artwork in a well-designed space is often facilitated by the appropriate selection of wall materials. An exciting option in surface treatments is a modern mosaic tile from Mosacio Digitale. Blending the centuries-old craftsmanship of mosaics with today’s digital technology, these lightweight, durable, resin tiles can be made in virtually any color, pattern, size or shape imaginable. The titles can be adapted to any surface whether flat, curved or angular and are priced to make them an equally attractive option for a wow element or a background accent. www.mosaicodigitale.it/en/
