Amsterdam

I found this image a short while ago and the only thing I wrote down about it was Amsterdam, so I am guessing this is found in Amsterdam. What a quirky, beautiful, fun idea. A friend of mine has dreams of owning a quirky coffee shop and I think that this different pattern wall surface is a great inspiration to what the wants. I dont know if I am too fond of the lamp, I think I would prefer a brightly colored resin chandelier, or have the walls be transparent, but still with pattern and have the walls light up through all the mess. So all the restaurant glows. The room does incorporate natural light through the higher windows, which I am sure adds a lightness to what could be a very heavy room. I would like to see the rest of this restaurant or whatever it is to see how they use the space and colors. I do not really like the seating they have chosen. I think a mix of older more comfortable booths might be more suitable. Or just older antique tables and chairs (not booths) to give a contrast to a very contemporary idea. The upholstery or color of the hardware could be a little off to keep in the quirkiness of the restaurant. Also, the pattern on the wall could be used to house shelving as well. Simple shelving that would follow the same shape as the squares and same color, just in 3D instead of 2D. The shelving could house small interesting trinkets that the customers of coffee could buy.
