The four owners of restaurant Floreyn asked us to design an interior for a restaurant that serves 'Dutch cuisine'. The starting point of the transformation of the restaurant were two menu cards that characterise the atmosphere and taste of the typical Dutch cuisine. Forgotten vegetables and tastes of the good old days, served in a contemporary way.
We took this particular starting point to design an interior where the guests experience The Netherlands without becoming cliché. The brand promise, 'Exceptionally good Dutch food', has been the design team's inducement to create a design concept that translates elements from Dutch nature and culture into the interior of the restaurant in a sophisticated way.
