Restaurant design hotel interior design
Restaurant design hotel interior design firm owner, Jeff Cahill, of Cahill Studio in Tinton Falls, first and foremost, is a “restaurant brander.” What all his clients have in common, he told redbankgreen, is an exacting attention to atmospheric details that he believes make or break the business.
“There’re too many people in the restaurant industry doing paint-and-paper makeovers, instead of committing to rebranding,” he said. “Those are the ones that are opened and closed within a year, and they’re the reason the industry has a 50-percent failure rate. Our firm has an over 90-percent success rate.”
Design Details
At Char, the details include a glittering waterwall that creates the illusion of pencil-thin jets of water falling without a splash; giant puck-shaped lamps that appear to float in space; ample use of hot orange lighting; and a bar with a pair of floor-to-ceiling windows that dial up the sense of urbanity both inside and out, typical of brilliant restaurant design hotel interior design qualities.
All of it, from the real flickering-flame accents to the buff orange waveform awning out front, came from Cahill’s head and had to be custom-made.
“We went over budget,” is all Ingrao will say about the cost of the 200-seat eatery. Still, he considers Cahill “a great designer.”
“He kind of feels what my ultimate goal is,” Ingrao said. Cahill and his small NJ restaurant branding team, which includes interior designer Joanie Del Sordi and Cahill’s son, Sean, a graphic designer, “are fantastic as far as being visionaries,” he said.
Tables vs. Seats
Jeff Cahill says that sometimes design elements can be subliminal.” The food and service could be great, but if someone has spent the evening uncomfortable or getting bumped all night, he may not understand why he doesn’t want to come back, but the result will be the same — he won’t.” (Source: Pizza Today)
