内容提要

  

    This book features 40 of the best small eating establishments from around the world. Work from designers such as Wonderwall, Marti Guixe and Thomas Heatherwick demonstrates how to make a big impact in small spaces - most of which are less than 150 square metres. Projects are grouped by type of outlet, from ice cream parlours in Tokyo to organic cafes in San Francisco, and also show the graphics, packaging and branding, which are often as important as the interior.
    Very Small Cafes & Restaurants is an inspiration for designers, as well as a valuable sourcebook of ideas for food retailers looking for fresh new ways to present their product.
