Beetle Lounge Chairs, fully upholstered in GUBI Dandy 606
Guests enter the 22,000-squarefoot warehouse building –
once a boat-builders workshop and then the space in which
the Royal Danish Theatre designed, made and stored stage
sets – through ominous three-meter-high hand-sculpted
bronze doors. Once inside, a partition wall slides up to reveal
a lavish bar beyond, furnished with four meter-long brass
pendant lamps and Beetle Lounge Chairs in navy-blue velvet
paired with Bat Lounge Chairs in taupe, all overlooking a
towering, 13-meter wine cellar on one side and a futuristic
test-kitchen on the other.

A dramatic staircase leads to the main restaurant in which
dark blue Beetle Bar Chairs are arranged along a winding
dining bar beneath a staggering 18-meter-wide dome. 12
mapping projectors supply dinner guests with a 360-degree
visual experience that might feature the anything from the
aurora borealis to a bloom of jellyfish interspersed with plastic
bags – part of Munk’s attempt to use his platform to bring
about positive social change.
An elevator takes diners up to an intimate and cozy final
room, complete with fire pit and tea ceremony bar, in which
dessert is served. Munk explains: “I want our guests to feel
like they’ve left reality behind and embarked on a parallel
journey through a series of unique physical spaces as well as
through their own five senses.”
