Designed by FRAMA, Denmark
A Middle Eastern inspired French bistro set in Copenhagen.
Wrap your head around that one. Multi-disciplinary design studio Frama used an eclectic variety of wood dining chairs and concrete table tops to transform a lifeless basement in Copenhagen’s historic Gråbrødretorv square.
The restaurant takes its name from the ancient port city in Tel Aviv and offers a Middle East-inspired menu, as well as an array of dishes that make use of Mediterranean ingredients.
There are also a couple of timber seating booths to accommodate larger groups of diners, softly illuminated by vintage-glass wall sconces. Bistro-style tiled flooring runs throughout the space.

A large part of the design brief from the client is that they did not want the place to look too neat or fresh and one of the ways we achieved this is through using different chairs.

Tables with sand-blasted marble table tops have been huddled together along the room’s perimeter to create the same in an attempt by the studio to create the same lively atmosphere as a quaint French cafe.
An adjacent bar area is anchored by a huge concrete service counter painted with colorful forms of umber, pale-yellow and navy. Guests stopping by for a quick drink can sit here on high-back wood bar stools.
The studio opted to keep all of the space’s existing rough-concrete surfaces, freshening them up with a coat of sandy-beige or moss-green mineral paint.
