The restaurant's [marble counters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-aether) are paired alongside wood-crafted dining tables and velvet seating. While the restaurant's main dining area features plush pink seats, and fresh plants dispersed throughout, its bar area spotlights bright emerald stools -- also featuring plush, vevet covers. The eatery's other areas of interest are its walls, which are adorned with abstract prints that blur the lines between contemporary graffiti and retro modernism. This immersive and artistic restaurant fuses opposing decor styles to create a space that surprisingly flows together, while exuding a cozy vibe. The Beirut eatery specializes in seasonal and [contemporary European menu offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-mediterranean-restaurant). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Dining Spaces:** More restaurants are infusing artistic elements into their interior design, creating unique and memorable dining experiences for customers. - **Opposing Decor Styles:** Opposing decor styles, such as contemporary and retro, are being fused together to create a cohesive and visually interesting atmosphere in restaurants. - **Natural Elements:** Restaurants are incorporating natural and organic elements, such as plants and wood, into their interior design to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior designers have an opportunity to create unique, artistic, and visually compelling dining spaces that offer a memorable experience to customers. - **Hospitality:** Restaurants within the hospitality industry can differentiate themselves and offer innovative dining experiences by infusing art and unique decor styles into their spaces. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can benefit from creating visually appealing and immersive dining experiences that attract and retain customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warm African-Inspired Dining Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch-restaurant1.md) - [Artful Soft-Pink Dining Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gallery-at-sketch.md) - [Elegant Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-restaurant-interior1.md) - [Earthy Warm Ambiant Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-1.md) - [Chic Middle-Eastern Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chic-middleeastern-restaurant.md) - [Luscious Dining Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ful-kyoto.md) - [Eclectic Bistro Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deux-gares-express-caf.md) - [Grotto-Like Punctuated Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cibaria.md) - [Architecturally Romantic Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanjobs.md)
