HOTEL AND RESTAURANT TRENDS

MANILA
• Fifteen years ago, Asian design informed and influenced global restaurant design, starting with a
Thai-inspired vibe and moving onto the very clean, minimalistic lines of Japanese design.

•This was the age of mind, body and soul. Spas proliferated and yoga became very popular, along
with candles and incense. We became fixated on the quiet and calm beauty of Asian spirituality.

• As the world got richer, brasher, louder, more confident and more global, design followed this
trend with graphic prints and themes that were very brand oriented. Hip hop, bling bling and
hedge funds were the buzzwords.
• The actual design process is the soul of any concept. It involves the research, the joy of creation
and collaboration, and the sourcing of materials to create an end product that is also joyful for the
customer to behold and experience.
