# National Gallery Restaurants This Elegant Restaurant is Inside the Singapore National Art Gallery By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-12-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singapore-national-art-gallery References: [retaildesignblog.net](http://retaildesignblog.net/2015/12/11/odette-restaurant-by-universal-design-studio-singapore/) The Odette restaurant is the recently unveiled eatery inside the [Singapore National Art Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat-tasting-menu). A ten-year-long project that recently reached completion, the Singapore National Art Gallery sits within the now-converted buildings that formerly housed Singapore's [Supreme Court](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-restart-donation-bank) and city hall. Odette is named for the grandmother of the eatery's head chef, Julien Royer. The brightly lit space that is Odette feels airy and light thanks to an entirely pastel color palette that makes deliberate reference to the Classical architecture of the Colonial Era. Designed by [Universal Design Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-brandinspired-nutrition), the dining room also features faceted columns and elements inspired by the gallery's Palladiana marble floor. The stunning restaurant speaks to a consumer interest in patronizing cultural hubs that offer a variety of extras. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cultural Hub Experiences:** Opportunity to create immersive dining experiences in cultural settings that offer a variety of extras. - **Deliberate Historical References:** Opportunity to design spaces that pay homage to the history and architecture of a location. - **Airy and Light Design Aesthetic:** Opportunity to create dining spaces that feel bright and open through the use of pastel color palettes and strategic lighting. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotels and restaurants to collaborate with cultural institutions to enhance their offerings. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate historical references into their designs for cultural spaces. - **Tourism:** Opportunity for tourist destinations to create unique dining experiences within cultural landmarks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warm African-Inspired Dining Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch-restaurant1.md) - [Artistic Dining Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniels-room.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Sensorial Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impressions-of-monet.md) - [Famed Paintings-Covered Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frescohallen.md) - [Autumnal Restaurant Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autumnal-menu.md) - [Brutalist Museum Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantabrian-maritime-museum.md) - [Earthy Palette Fine-Dining Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logy.md) - [Hotel Art Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claridges-hotel.md)
