McDonald’s announced a radical makeover for several restaurants in France. The foundation of the new interior design is the ‘root’, a floor to ceiling high space divider that creates distinct dining spaces. Integrated within the root are McDonald’s brand colors and digital kiosks which provide customers with the convenience of table side ordering. The restaurants will provide seating for larger groups, which is in contrast to current the restaurants.
The idea for this project of Marleen Jansen sparked after writing her thesis about the manipulation of product users. The table seesaw influences table manners and makes it impossible to get of the table during dinner. See the seesaw table here.
The UK will soon see the launch of the world’s first paper wine bottle. Greenbottle, the company behind the product, is already negotiating with a leading supermarket chain and insists it will be on the market in the beginning of 2012. The UK is about to run out of space for landfill within seven years, hence this biodegradable packaging will become a huge issue for both consumers and manufacturers. The paper bottle weighs only 55g compared with 500g for a glass bottle, meaning that transport costs will be hugely reduced. In addition, its carbon footprint is only 10% of that of a glass bottle.
The Pop-up Wine Bar will be opening her doors in Amsterdam from 17 November until 23 December. You can taste 41 different wines by the glass and even per sip. The price per glass will vary from € 3,50 to € 350,= and a small menu will be offered such as several types of cheese, delicacies and sushi to accompany the wines. The Pop-up Wine Bar provides with a living room, a bedroom, a large kitchen table, a tv-corner and a bubblebad. Moreover it is allowed to smoke inside, to enjoy a sigaret in bed to create the perfect home-away-from-home feeling.
The Cupcakes Project renews traditional recipes and recently launched the Cupcakes Benedict. The Benedict has a topping of bacon and poached egg. The cakes are subsequently doused in a velvety Hollandaise sauce. It is without a doubt not the most common way to start you day, but it’s worth the effort. See the link for a recipe.
Air Swimmers swim through the air by the energy of four AAA batteries. These remote controlled fish are available in Flying Shark and Flying Clownfish variant. A cool gimmick for fish restaurants!
According to Bolletje, the ‘kruidnoot’ stays the most popular type of candy during Sinterklaas. This traditional candy is responsible for 80 percent of the total 21 million euros revenue. Recent years there are more and more variants on the traditional ‘kruidnoten’. This year Bolletje came with a new Sinterklaas gadget; the ‘Pepernoten Plu’. This red reversed umbrella was meant to catch pepernoten or kruidnoten easily. As it was a limited edition, kids had to be fast to obtain such an umbrella.
