Restaurant Fixers: Three Specialists in Branding, Uniforms, and Lighting
Three consulting firms—Imschweilers based in Munich, Service Works from London, and Lundi in Bangkok—are revolutionizing the branding, uniforms, and lighting of restaurants. Established in 2021 by Martin Imschweiler, Imschweilers focuses on developing concepts from pre-existing spaces, as seen in the Parkhotel Mondschein project of the same year. Service Works, founded in 2020 by Tom Chudley, specializes in creating organic cotton workwear for the hospitality sector, prioritizing comfort and individuality. Meanwhile, Lundi, under the direction of Kunlatida Suwintrakorn, excels in restaurant lighting, enhancing environments such as Bangkok's Nusara restaurant. Each company emphasizes that elements like guest interactions, lighting, and uniforms are vital for unforgettable dining experiences.
