delis

just continuing from the shared table, what else do you have inside these places, lots of marble, stainless steel, open food displays, food displayed in cool glass jars and in baskets,a bit industrial but very inviting at the same time as these following pics show from Dean and Deluca, Le pain quotidien, the movie set from It's Complicated etc. i absolutely love these deli style places with shared tables, i had to get dragged out of dean and deluca in NY! i am hoping to design one soon, is there any one out there who needs one done?

the shared table

I have been studying cafe interior design and I really like the shared table concept in a casual setting..

we shared a jet lag brunch at this one called Le Pain Quotidien in LA, and one of the cool things about sharing a table is that we got all the low down about LA from the locals at the table and we shared about Sydney.


we shared breakfast at this one in the SLS hotel in LA while spotting a couple of movie stars!

read the stools in this one they say cool stuff like "sit still", "sitting duck" etc



this Brisbane one has nice designer chairs and funny sign on top.


i love the blue and white combo of this one
