Restaurant & Bar Nazdrowje, in Stockholm

The natural raw atmosphere of the space was kept and used as a base for the concept. Floors were made of concrete and casted benches were mounted directly onto the walls. A large fire place in copper and a unique lighting arrangement was custom-made to give warmth to the industrial environment. The copper items, lightning system and open fireplace is all designed by me. In contrast to the hard feeling from the concrete I wanted something to give the space warmth. Hence I chose copper since the color gives a good contrast to the concrete and ages beautifully. The hanging pendants lamp I found in an antique store in Stockholm.

The idea for the artwork came to me during the project. I got to know the workers and their history and felt it was both a bit of an honour and a fun detail to let them be a part of the future of the restaurant by displaying them on the walls. They really had a good time getting their photos taken by a professional photographer (Mattias Lindbäck)!

Frequently used materials include concrete, copper, steel and white tiles.
