Instead of a vibrant and engaging color palette that promotes play and whimsicality, the aesthetic development of the business is approached from a very different angle. Sneha Divias Atelier is the design firm tasked with facilitating the visual experience and the name of the children's restaurant is '[White & The Bear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-modular-house-1).' The studio attempted to boast a [clean and minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifteen-east) by employing neutral tones, especially white, and using timber for the furniture. The goal was to "not overstimulate the senses," but to facilitate a more tranquil experience for guests, sparking their curiosity. Aside from being a children's restaurant, White & The Bear also doubles as a retail space, signifying that the [hybridization of businesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-play-space) is still a popular way to entice consumers.
