03 From the designer

Snøhetta in collaboration with Table Noir

Snøhetta in collaboration with Table Noir Snøhetta is the internationally acclaimed Norwegian architecture and design studio. For Restaurant Barr in Copenhagen, Snøhetta worked in close collaboration with Table Noir to translate the restaurant’s architecture, identity and atmosphere into a bespoke cutlery collection. The collaboration approached cutlery as part of the complete dining experience rather than as an isolated object. Details from Barr’s interior architecture were carried directly into the design: a characteristic groove found throughout the restaurant’s woodwork reappears along the shaft of the cutlery, creating both a visual connection and a natural resting place for the index finger. A discreet flat plane on the underside stabilises each piece on the table, while weight and dimensions were carefully tuned for balance in the hand and the practical rhythms of restaurant service. Material and surface became part of the same story. Barr’s interior draws on microscopic references to barley — barr meaning barley in Old Nordic — and these details informed the stone-washed finish used in the restaurant. The softly textured surface was conceived to develop naturally through use while retaining its warm, tactile character. The result is a design in which architecture, gastronomy and the object in the hand become part of one composition: cutlery created not simply for Restaurant Barr, but from the restaurant itself.

“Architecture, food and the object in the hand should speak the same language.”

Natural traces of use blend gracefully into the Stonewashed surface, allowing the cutlery to age beautifully through years of restaurant service. This longevity was part of the thinking behind the design: a surface made to be used, lived with and appreciated over time.
