Stiftung Blind-Liecht

The first undertaking of the Blind-Leicht Foundation was the opening of the Blindekuh “dark” restaurant in Zurich in 1999, and then one in Basel in 2005. The concept: all staff in the restaurants is either blind or severely visually impaired and the guests eat in complete darkness (although they make their menu choice in the light). The goal is to create an experience that would allow a closer identification with the world of the blind and thus reduce barriers between the blind and the sighted.
