Starting with its Chelsea outpost in New York, global fast-food giant McDonalds plans a revamp of its American outlets with Jacobsen-inspired furnishings, wireless connectivity, and plasma-screen televisions. The changes come as the ways customers use the spaces are changing:
The menu at the 186-seat Chelsea outlet is the same as any other McDonald's. But the differences are stark. The walls are decorated with bold vertical stripes or with what looks like a zebra design but is actually French architect Philippe Avanzi's magnified thumbprint. Tables are of different sizes to accommodate small groups or an informal business meeting — and Hendel said nearby workers have started meeting there. There are reproductions of Danish designer Arne Jacobsen's chairs including the Egg chair, a classic of mid-century functionality that would look right at home on "The Jetsons."
wow the atmosphere of this is really nice, I wish other will follow this Idea.
