restaurant interior design Sat, 05/17/08 4:44 PM (permalink)
I own a foam fabricating business. foam is a inexpensive way to make larger then life design. I am interested in breaking into the new restaurant market. giving new restaurants a bigger/better look for a reasonable cost. Could you give me suggestions of the best sites, forums, news sites that new start up might go to.

      Chewingthefat...that really is not very nice...Incredibly creative..But, not nice.

      Actually this person needs to get his firm mentioned in the "What's New" section of some of these interior design or interior decorator magazines. Do a search and you'll find plenty of magazines. It's the interior decorators who design most of the restaurants that would be interested.

      There are trade shows in NYC and Chicago (NRA)you can attend and maybe pay for a booth.$$$$$$

      Or, if all else fails, yes he can try www.areyoukiddingme?.com

        Baah ben,
        The smaller (mom and pop)new starts are who I am looking to serve. Do you still feel that mags are the way to go. I have already set for info on the NRA trade show.
        Thanks

                  I design and custom foaom products. Yes we could make you a large slab of ribs. Can you give me some more details. How big? Interior sign or exterior? If there is a lot of details on your sign, nome, phone# etc....lets talk.

                  I will be glad to e-mail you direct if you would like with my #

                      Hell I'm not bashful and the group should know what a service like your cost. I want a price on a slab of ribs for an outdoor sign or the side of my step van or both. And the they need to be 24 inches long, with great color and detail, or even 36 inches long. I use St Louis style ribs so they need to look like St Louis Style Ribs.
                      What about the weather?
                      Rain?
                      Snow?
                      High heat in the summer?
                      How long will the color last?
                      How do I put them on the sign? (mount them)
                      HOW MUCH WILL THEY COST?

                                The foam is coated with an expoxy and has been used for outdoor signs for many years. The coating is not effected by heat, cold, rain, or snow. The epxoy also makes the foam reall durable. I use a paint made by BJ Moore that will not fade. I would have to see a photo of the sign you are attaching to, then I could tell you the best way to attach. I will give you a quote tomorrow. Thanks again
