Going green to overt suicidal dreams is what’s for dinner at this new restaurant in Sweden called “New Restaurant.” Keeping your patrons alive and happy is good for business. In a country that has to deal with six months of winter darkness a year, design firm Architect Olssonlyckefors have created an oasis of happy thoughts by incorporating cascading walls of foliage giving the illusion of warm summer nights. ‘We wanted a soft yet artificial, almost rendered, appearance; spatial contradictions; and a solution that’s like sitting on a porch in the garden,’ says Lyckefors. In the US, we have a silly place called “The Rainforest Cafe” that pretty much takes the same approach to dining, with the added elements of random tropical rain storms and animatronic gorillas looming just over head, growling at your poor eating habits. If we want happy, we take a pill.

瑞典式的丛林之恋
在瑞典新开张了一家叫做"新式酒家"的餐厅,置身青葱绿野中，人们用餐时会不禁进行串串险象环生的遐想．让顾客兴致昂然自然会生意兴隆．瑞典一年中有六个月都是黑压压的冬天，为了排解这种苦闷，建筑设计公司Architect Olssonlyckefors 设计了这片＂忘忧绿洲＂＿即是嵌入这一堵堵流苏式的布满绿叶的墙以带来温暖夏夜的错觉．Lyckefors说：＂我们想要一种虽不是浑然天成，却能几乎如出一辙的柔和景象；带点空间上的矛盾视觉，就恍如坐在公园的长廊下一样＂美国有一种叫＂雨林咖啡＂的地方，在这里和在＂新式酒家＂的进餐方式几乎一样的傻气十足：肆意的来一场热带暴风雨，或是有粗壮的大猩猩冷不丁在头上出现，咆哮几声，搞得正在进食的你惊魂难定．如果我们想要寻开心，就吃片药吧．
