What is the Biophilic Dining trend?
Biophilic Dining: The disconnect between humans and the natural world is a resonating issue among those who dwell in urban settings, which is a notion that many brands are using to strike a cord with consumers who crave a tangible connection to the organic. Appealing to generations like Boomers who have spent their entire lives in metropolis life and long for a biophilic connection, the designs satisfy a preference for escapism amid travelers in their twilight years who want an experience far more than a simple meal.
