What does light "taste" like? Restaurant lighting should support a restaurant's concept and be in harmony with the architecture. From lunch kitchen to dinner restaurant, "Guests should have a different experience depending on the time of day," explains architect David Thulstrup. Tunable White restaurant light fixtures deliver this. They vary the restaurant lighting mood in line with natural daylight. Great restaurant lighting also makes sure the food looks delicious. LED lights for restaurants with a high colour rendering index (CRI≥90) add depth of colour and texture to the dishes and to the surfaces of the walls or upholstered furniture.

The so-called "observer principle" states that we like to see others in a brighter light than we perceive ourselves. This combines a protected feeling with top visibility of the surroundings. Successful restaurant lighting design follows this principle in that table surfaces are illuminated more brightly than seats. Meanwhile, the increased brightness makes for an appetising presentation of the food. Since restaurants are both places to take time out and work environments, they need great working light for staff combined with a unique ambience for guests.
The lighting was the focus of Restaurant Mühltalhof’s redesign. Thanks to intelligent lighting control, visiting the restaurant is now a holistic experience.
Whether guests feel comfortable in a restaurant is significantly influenced by lighting. Let our ideas for restaurant lighting inspire you.
