LAYOUT & FURNISHINGS

The building’s glass facade allows guests an unhindered view of sky, sea, traffic and the city’s famous Opera designed by Snøhetta – an intense encounter with an Oslo neighborhood undergoing explosive development. The open ground floor kitchen dominates – both viewed from the street and from inside the restaurant. Seating at different heights creates variation in the room and a variety of options for guests who can enjoy luncheon for two, a glass at the bar or a party celebration at one of the long tables.

The second floor houses a special section for courses and conferences – with a fantastic view of the bay as a decorative backdrop. The floor is cast in situ concrete. The walls are made of lumber that uses an old log technique, creating a contrast with the large windows.The central stairwell is constructed using 2 x 4 boards and expanded steel mesh, offsetting the classic, elegant chairs from Carl Hansen & Søn and the simple tables of stained oak. Heavy wooden slatted structures suspended from the ceiling break up the dimensions of the room, providing a sense of intimacy against the panoramic horizon beyond the windows. Specially designed carpets inspired by moss, stone and lichen follow the contours of the wooden ceiling structures, ​dividing the room into zones.

RESTAURANT MANAGER & CO-OWNER JØRN LIE, COMMENTS ON THE CHOICE OF CH33:

“From the outset of the project we decided to choose a chair from the Carl Hansen & Søn portfolio. Furniture from Carl Hansen & Søn is equally suited to private and business use. CH33 has fantastic lines that help to soften the overall impression of the restaurant. The chair affords a high degree of comfort and several different seating positions. High quality and durability means that these chairs will provide many years of service. They don’t become worn but instead develop a beautiful patina with age.”
