Dining with Vincent Van Gogh invites all lovers of art and design to create a restaurant space inspired by the many works of the talented late artist. Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most influential artists to have contributed to both the Post-Impressionist era and Western Art. While his artistic career only spanned a decade he created over 800 oil paintings out of a complete body of more than 2000 artworks.
The challenge here is to envision a themed restaurant inspired by the works of Vincent Van Gogh. Consider the history of the artist tied to the city as well as the influence of the space on his style of work and design a truly immersive experience for Van Gogh enthusiasts. The restaurant can be either completely inspired by the work of the artist or borrow cues and details from the artist’s bold, expressive and colourful art. Both the structure and the interiors must reflect the source of inspiration.
Dining with Vincent Van Gogh objectives:
- Architecture: The main structure should be inspired by the works of the artist
- Interior: the space within must be influenced by the artist
- Planning: Micro Planning of the Restaurant Spaces
- Lighting: Natural Lighting as well as Fixtures used in the design
- These objectives are the point of the beginning to conceive the design. Participants are further free to design according to their own perceptions.
The restaurant must have enough space to seat 20-30 people, the reception, kitchen, pantry, restrooms and other services. Other creative additions to the project can be made within the space constraints.
