restaurants dining out Hverdagen Copenhagen Photos by JANNICK BOERLUM Located near the vibrant Kødbyen neighborhood of Copenhagen, Hverdagen offers a home-awayfrom-home sensibility. Designed by local architecture studio Vermland, the residentially inspired restaurant embraces a warm, genial ambiance, complete with a communal table suspended from the ceiling via a timber frame. "We were asked to make a restaurant that reflected the idea of an everyday dinner situation at home," says Vermland cofounder Anton Bak. The interior of the brick structure is outfitted entirely with locally sourced Douglas fir that conveys the dual influence of Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese simplicity. Beyond the 23-foot-long table, custom wood furniture complements cognac-hued leather upholstery and subtle, clean details. "We went for a warm and inviting atmosphere inspired by Japanese joinery," he adds. 142 May 2020 hospitalitydesign.comhttp://www.hospitalitydesign.com
