Ett Bord Restaurant, Oslo

The client had been dreaming of a restaurant where people would gather around one long table to share good food and atmosphere. The aim of the design was to create a generous place with good daylight and visual connection to the street.

The entrance area exhibits the raw materials for the day’s menu, and gives a view into the kitchen. The six metre long specially designed table in solid oak obviously dominates the restaurant space. It seats 24 people and is carefully proportioned for the social interaction between the guests. Materials and colour scheme separates the different zones. Entrance, kitchen and waiting area have cement tile floors, whilst the main dining area has solid oak planking.
