This restaurant is very chic and modern, but elements of Mother Nature are interwoven throughout. The interior is filled with [trees and plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stalk-treehugger), and LEDs provide the light the interior landscaping requires. The O2 Restaurant by Garduño Architects also boasts furniture that is made out of [certified sustainable wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quisimangia).
