Amsterdam-based design studio UXUS were the masterminds behind the Nike Canteen that puts every other cafeteria to shame. Their objective was to create a space that inspired ideas and has that [sporty, athletic element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidelined) that reflects the company. Most of the materials that were used were inspired by sports facilities that are accompanied by bright, neutral tones that are subtle and attractive at the same time. The [open-space concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office) is enhanced with the use of high ceilings that come complete with low-hanging lights. There are also several booths and graphics of sports stars for that extra touch that really ties the room together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sporty Cafeteria Design:** Businesses can innovate their cafeteria spaces by incorporating sports-inspired design elements. - **Open-concept Cafeterias:** Creating open and inviting cafeteria spaces can enhance employee experience and foster creativity. - **Employee-centric Cafeterias:** More companies are investing in building employee-centric and inspiring cafeteria spaces to boost employee morale and productivity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms can offer innovative and sports-inspired cafeteria design services to businesses. - **Corporate Catering:** Corporate caterers can offer menu options that promote employee wellness and fit with the overall design of the cafeteria space. - **Office Supplies and Equipment:** Furniture and equipment suppliers can provide businesses with products that promote collaboration and productivity in their cafeteria spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop-Up Recovery Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikes-soup-shop.md) - [Youthful Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency.md) - [Experimental Sporty Coffee shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-grounds-terra-cafe.md) - [Recovery Soup Stalls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-soup-shop.md) - [Gym-Themed Croissant Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudake-haus-nowhere-shanghai.md) - [Community-Centric Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communitycentric-design.md) - [Bright Playful Sport Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-nike.md) - [Sports Brand Design Evolutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-form-follows-motion.md) - [Phygital Sportswear Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-style.md)
