The Design

About Tjeld Бар

Tjeld Bar е хармонична комбинација на природа и функционалност. Инспириран од живописното норвешко крајбрежје и иконичната птица Tjeld, овој бар ја рекреира атмосферата на брегот преку природни материјали како мермер, дрво и метал. Флуидните внатрешни линии подсетуваат на школки од стриди, додека светлечките ламби ја одразуваат будната присутност на птицата. Смела црвена колона, која го претставува клунот на стридоловот, ги одделува станиците за коктели и стриди. Ергономското планирање на просторот и одржливите материјали обезбедуваат удобност, функционалност и силна поврзаност со природата.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The design uses unique, recycled materials: a unique natural clay plaster, which is a mixture of unfired clays with minerals, river sand and herbs. Solved any noise issues with natural acoustics panels made from recycled, and bio-based materials from a biocomposite based on fibrous plants, flax and hemp. The emphasis in the bar is on ergonomics and smart space planning. The bar station is located in the middle, which has helped create a more ergonomic space and greater interaction with guests
Dimensions & Packaging: The area of the bar is 90 sq.m. together with all the rooms. The guest space is 63 sq.m. and is designed for 40 guests.
Tags: bar, cocktails and oysters
Production Technology: A unique technology on the walls of the bar and toilet is EON Clay Plaster are unique blends of unfired clays mixed with minerals, river sand and herbs to provide healthy, breathable finishes for internal walls and ceilings. The plaster are non-toxic, with low VOCs emissions and no synthetic, concrete or lime additives. Made from readily available, naturally abundant materials, they require no processing, only blending. During the manufacturing process very little energy is required, no water is used, and there is zero waste produced.
Design Challenge: The design challenge was to play get inspiration about the Oyster catcher bird , find out it habitats and implement it to interior. Location that my client took had column that was located in the middle of the venue , so challenge was how to integrate it in design as well .Since we desided to place all bar around the column ,there was a challenge with whole movement in the bar ,so that people will not intentianally go through the bar.
Research: The main objective was to design a bar that embodies the essence of the Tjeld bird (which translates from Norwegian as Oystercatcher), known for its connection to the sea, and the Tjuvholmen area, a picturesque waterfront location known for its distinctive modern architecture.

The methodology combined visual analysis, cultural and environmental research, studying the bird’s symbolism, local history, and the area’s architectural style to shape the design.

The design successfully combines elements of both the Tjeld bird and the Tjuvholmen environment. The bar design reflects the bird's connection to the sea and the natural environment, incorporating natural and sustainable materials typical of the area.

The insights gained included a deeper understanding of how to create spaces that resonate with both the history and the natural environment of a place. The design celebrates the harmonious blend of nature and modernity, making the bar not just a place to drink, but an experience that tells a story.

This research has significant implications for design, particularly in creating spaces that engage with local culture and geography. For business, it emphasizes how thoughtful design can enhance the customer experience and reflect a location’s identity. In society, it encourages a deeper appreciation for the relationship between design, nature, and the built environment. For the design field, it pushes the boundaries of how we integrate narrative, culture, and functionality into modern spaces.
Inspiration: Design story is inspired by the beauty of coastal landscapes and the charming habitat of the Tjeld bird. The Tjeld, or oystercatcher, is among the favorite bird species of Norwegians, thanks to its presence along coastal shores and inland water bodies. Using natural materials, marble, wood and shiny metal, the atmosphere of the sea coast is recreated. Bright design elements resemble the eyes and beak of a bird, and smooth lines resemble the shape of oysters and shells.
Project Duration: The bar's design seamlessly blends into the Tjuvholmen district, situated right on the waterfront in Oslo, Norway.
Operation Flow: When a guest enters the bar, the bartender immediately greets him thanks to the advantageous location of the bar counter. The location of the bar counter in the center of the bar allowed the staff to pay attention to each table, which provided better service and improved interaction between staff and guests. The door to the dishwasher room opens automatically with sensors at knee level, which helps the staff carry dishes in their hands and freely enter the room without using their hands. The staff room is conveniently hidden behind an invisible door.
