The design studio Space Copenhagen has designed the latest addition, the “Kul”, to booming Kødbyen neighborhood, Copenhagen’s meatpacking district. Choosing matt grey for the walls of the new restaurant Kul (’charcoal’ in Danish) might sound like an interiors no-brainer, but the creative intentions run deeper than pure trend. Space was called to create a place in sync with the atmosphere of the area – industrial, yet casual and cozy.
So, they designed the 90-seat eatery, setting it in a relaxed open space that takes the color charcoal and works wonders with it. The designers kept original details like the brick floor and white subway tiles, then juxtaposed them against hand-hammered Shade Light lamps by Mater, black Windsor chairs, and fiery yellow accents. Kul refers to the charcoal-fired Spanish Josper oven and Japanese yakitori grill where all meals are prepared.
