Pierre Nierhaus

“People like to go out, they want to connect in real life. You bring your home, and work, out to the restaurant. Making the restaurant a natural meeting point. The trend is to create an atmosphere that will remind your guests of their homes.”

Pierre Nierhaus is a gastro-coach and strategy consultant that is helping decision-makers, businesses and projects around the world to strategically equip for the future. He can see a clear trend in the restaurant and hotel industry: Integrated concepts with a sense of authenticity and a cosy homelike feeling, with great hospitality.

 

“Colours are important: warm and cosy tones, but also strong contrasts, working together in harmony. The look and feel of materials should work in the same way: comfortable, nice to touch and creating homelike atmosphere. We want to sense the global touch in a room, but in the same time it should feel like home.”

Pierre Nierhaus also talks about the importance of good lighting:

 

“There should be a holistic feeling in the concept. Colours, materials and lighting have to work together, to create atmosphere. Generating suspense and the sense of well-being. Candles in combination with good lighting is important in creating atmosphere.”
