# Watery Interior Designs RCR Arquitectes' Design for Enigma Restaurant is Inspired by Water By Joey Haar | Published 2017-07-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-restaurant References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2017/07/20/rcr-arquitectes-uses-sintered-stone-to-create-watercolour-walls-for-albert-adrias-new-restaurant/) Enigma restaurant, a new project by restaurateur and chef Albert Adria, has a striking design that won't necessarily reflect the food served there. Though Adria is known for creative and flavorful dishes, Enigma's aesthetic is distinctly watery. The new [Barcelona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colombo-and-serboli-architecture-1) restaurant was designed by [RCR Arquitectes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil) in collaboration with architect Pau Llimona. The team worked with [Neolith](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sintered-stone) sintered stone from Spanish company TheSize Surfaces to create the fluid effect. The material is used all over the restaurant, including the floors, walls, curved cabinetry, worktops, and bathroom interiors. Its watercolor-like pattern creates gradients that range from green to blue, with monochromatic grays and whites mixed in. Enigma restaurant promises a unique dining experience for those who are invested in the culinary cutting edge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Water-inspired Designs:** Designs, particularly in the hospitality industry, will incorporate water-inspired themes in their interior and exterior design elements. - **Sintered Stone Materials:** Sintered stone materials will become increasingly popular in interior design applications, particularly for their durability and flexibility with design elements. - **Multi-sensory Dining Experiences:** Dining establishments will increasingly aim to provide multi-sensory experiences for guests, incorporating design, aroma, and sound for a more immersive dining experience. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality venues will differentiate themselves by incorporating water-inspired design elements for a unique guest experience. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers will incorporate sintered stone materials into their project designs for their durability and flexibility in creating unique design elements. - **Gastronomy Industry:** Chefs and restaurateurs will increasingly focus on providing multi-sensory dining experiences for guests to elevate their dining experience, incorporating elements such as design and sound. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flowing Water-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-feast.md) - [Architecturally Romantic Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanjobs.md) - [Exterior-Inspired Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-restaurant.md) - [Sea-inspired Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civico-29.md) - [Curved Wall Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tin-tin.md) - [Grotto-Like Punctuated Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cibaria.md) - [Contemporary Mediterranean Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-mediterranean-restaurant.md) - [Coastal Tradition-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anfibio-restaurant.md) - [Ominous Interior Sushi Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-restaurant.md)
