About Selfie Konditori Barra de Sobremesas

Selfie Konditori é unha barra de sobremesas en Tromso, Noruega, cunha superficie total de 130 metros cadrados. O interior foi deseñado para crear un espazo luminoso e cálido durante os longos e escuros días e noites do norte. O mármore, o latón e os espellos en tons dourados combínanse con texturas naturais e abundante vexetación, elementos que a cidade non posúe debido ao seu clima severo. As instalacións con espellos e o mobiliario brillante deseñado a medida reflicten o tema da autorreflexión e a alegría suxerido polo nome do local. Os elementos coloridos están deseñados para adaptarse aos hóspedes e para facilitar a toma de fotografías.

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.
