Tie in striking table accentsThis cuboid room is tied together by a mind-boggling number of elements, many of which occupy considerable floor space. With silver console tables, a sleek dining table and heavyset sofas, the room works hard to cater to various activities. Yet, the dining area separates itself subtly despite the uniform colour palette in the room. See how the dazzling copper candleholders stand tall, commanding the space around them. The solitary chandelier also adds weight to the area, shining a circle of light over the dining zone. Tip: A good way to separate the dining area is to angle the dining table in a different direction from the living room furniture.
I was attending The Fude Experience (as in, food in the nude) at a London location. Run by the multidisciplinary artist she describes it as “a liberating space that celebrates our most pure selves”, involving art, meditation, conversation and—most enticingly—dining naked.
If you’re nervous about dining in the buff, don’t be. The resort owners I spoke to all said concerns about being naked usually go away after 15 minutes. Nude dining seems naturally relaxing: You don’t have to think about what to wear (or dry-cleaning bills), and you never have to loosen your belt if you overeat. Although, actually, I can’t think of a better motivation to lose weight than the fact that everyone can see your gut (and everything else).
Following the trend, we saw many cosmopolitan cities entering the world of nudity and let’s term 2016-17 as a year big on public naked dining.
The naked theme extended into the kitchen and dining area, which ran without gas or electricity. Diners were only illuminated by candlelight.
