In eastern Switzerland, white chipboard or almost man-high chipboard stands are placed on the partition furniture. These do not let daylight through and unnecessarily darken the rooms, as the spotlights have usually not been adjusted accordingly. Everything looks loveless and at first glance you can sense what is probably an eternal temporary solution... In Central Switzerland - which belongs to the Lucerne Regional Cooperative - everything is much brighter and more inviting and you don't feel this oppressiveness because all the dividing elements are made of Plexiglas. This also makes the restaurants appear brighter and more open and not as oppressive as in Eastern Switzerland... As we will probably have to live with this particular situation for some time to come, the question can be asked: Is the Regional Cooperative of Eastern Switzerland also considering replacing these dreary chipboard panels with Plexiglas to make the restaurant rooms more inviting ?
