says Pottinger + Cole
The idea in brief is to create a restaurant interior, which is pleasurable, practical and memorable, and also futuristic in its use of technology.
It is not hard to imagine that soon holographic interactive technology may become part of everyday life. In our concept menus would be displayed in front of the customer and interacted with.
Menus could have interactive levels and could be scrolled through with holographic depictions of the dishes projected in front of the diner. Selections could be transmitted directly to the restaurant staff along with table locations.
Pottinger + Cole is a creative practice founded in 2005 by Wayne Pottinger and Natalie Cole. The studio approach is multidisciplinary, working on projects including furniture, lighting, product design, interiors and exhibition design.
It employs a materials and process-focused design approach to create thoughtful, refined objects. Its work is produced in a range of materials, utilising production techniques from the handmade to digital technologies.
The emphasis of the studio’s work is function combined with a considered and appropriate use of materials.
