The Design

About Selfie Konditori Dessertbar

Selfie Konditori er en dessertbar i Tromsø, Norge, med et samlet areal på 130 kvadratmeter. Interiøret er designet til at skabe et lyst og varmt sted i løbet af de lange og mørke nordlige dage og nætter. Marmor, messing og guldtonede spejle kombineres med naturlige teksturer og frodig beplantning, som byen mangler på grund af sit barske klima. Spejlarmaturer og blankt skræddersyet møbelinventar afspejler temaet om selvrefleksion og glæde, som stedets navn antyder. Farverige elementer er formgivet, så de passer til gæsterne og gør det let at tage fotografier.

Production Technology
The materials such as brass, mirrored fixtures and glossy bespoke furniture used in the interior are reflecting the idea of "the perfect selfie" sticking to the theme of self-reflection and joy.
Design Challenge
The name of the venue "Selfie" was already chosen when we got assigned to work on the interior thus the team needed to find a way not only to give guests a beautiful set when someone is taking their picture but also to facilitate the taking of selfies as much as possible.
Research
We approached the design with a concept to create a decor with bright, warm tones using marble, brass, and gold-toned mirrors as well as natural and warm textures and a lot of greenery, something which the city lacks due to the harsh climate.
Inspiration
The primary inspiration for space came from the already chosen name "Selfie" which proposed a joyful and fun look at the dessert bar concept, creating a fun and bubbly interior, curated by reflections, color, and brass finishings.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2019 and was finished in September 2019 in Tromso, Norway.
Operation Flow
The colorful features in the space are molded to fit the user's needs in order to create an energizing experience.
