There are so many ways to enjoy grey. It exudes a certain confidence, a certain understated elegance - whether introduced using soft textiles, wools, cashmeres or for a more industrial contrast with tarnished silver, chrome or stone - it references materials shown in their raw, unfinished state. The layers of different textures can create such an interesting space.
The restaurant featured below is Kødbyen's Fiskebar in Copenhagen's meat-packing district. It was one of the first projects I worked on in 2009 while working for the firm Space Architecture & Design. An informal fish restaurant based out of a former slaughterhouse, the intent was to conserve the memory of the former building while creating a metropolitan bistro feel. So, the old white tiles, meat hooks and heavy fridge doors were re-interpreted in eclectic ways and the bars were clad with old discarded door paneling from around the neighborhood.
In an ad showcasing LIGHTYEARS' new Calabash pendant light - the restaurant was featured as a raw industrial backdrop to the curvaceous and iridescent silver surface of the clustered lamps.
I love the photos shown above, taken from the Danish magazine RUM by the photographer Yellow.
