# Surreal Staircase Interiors The Green Bistro Adopts an Imaginative Yet Organic Look By Meghan Young | Published 2011-07-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-bistro References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/design/green-bistro.html) & [l-t.de](http://www.l-t.de) Although the main focus for the interior design of the [Green Bistro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babendiekstrae-23) was to promote an organic vibe considering that this cafe clearly offers healthy and eco-friendly meals, I can't help but get sidetracked by how [surreal it looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-with-a-lizard). The interior is filled with what appear to be stairs going nowhere and hypnotically undulating ceiling fixtures; I don't know how I could avoid getting so sidetracked. Designed by architects Jörn Fröhlich and Siddik Erdogan, the Green Bistro is part of the Lengermann & Trieschmann Department Store located in Osnabrück, Germany. With the predominant use of natural plywood boards, some of which form [stratified tables and counters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo), the Green Bistro does end up with an organic feel. I especially like how harmonized everything is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Surreal Interior Design:** The Green Bistro's use of hypnotic ceiling fixtures and stairs going nowhere presents an opportunity for businesses to explore surreal interior design concepts. - **Organic Interior Design:** The predominant use of natural plywood boards in the Green Bistro's design offers a chance for businesses to incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable materials in their interior design plans. - **Harmonized Interior Design:** The Green Bistro's harmonized concept can inspire businesses to create a cohesive and consistent ambience in their interior design plans. ### Who This Affects Most - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can adopt the Green Bistro's surreal and organic interiors to create an enticing and memorable dining experience for their customers. - **Retail Industry:** Retail stores can incorporate the Green Bistro's harmonized interior design concept to offer a consistent and well-designed shopping environment to their customers. - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels can explore the Green Bistro's surreal and unique interior design concepts to offer their guests an experiential stay that they will remember. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mushroom-Inspired Dining Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grybova-hata.md) - [Reclaimed Interior Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-aether.md) - [Art Deco Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypique-1.md) - [Exterior-Inspired Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-restaurant.md) - [Tree-Nestled Bar Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stalk-treehugger.md) - [Surreal Kyiv Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-with-a-lizard.md) - [Sensory Interior Designed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-restaurant.md) - [Architecturally Romantic Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanjobs.md) - [Minimalist Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-matcha-caf.md)
