Designed by Space Copenhagen, 108 is a restaurant in Nyhavn, Copenhagen, for René Redzepi who has teamed up with former Noma chef Kristian Baumann. Still refined and complex, yet more casual and affordable than Noma, 108 serves food close to nature and local agriculture, based on a seasonal approach. The restaurant seats around 80 guests and includes a small bar serving coffee and wine.

Throughout the project Space Copenhagen worked with an interplay of two elements - the building itself, as well as their fascination with the surrounding area of Christianshavn and the use of intense and vibrant colours in this iconic district of the city. Small touches of colour - that reflect the surrounding area, home to Copenhagen’s prized pastel façades – are used throughout the restaurant.

Boasting characteristic Scandinavian style, the restaurant features bespoke furniture pieces by Space Copenhagen, manufactured by Stellar Works and Mater, and utilises existing structural elements of the space. Relying heavily on raw materials such as wood, concrete and metal, the project maintains the beauty of the building itself - a former industrial warehouse. In addition, wardrobes in blackened steel and stretch metal as well as wood credenzas serve as waiting stations throughout the restaurant and long oak benches and a communal table. To highlight the restaurants high ceiling, Space Copenhagen chose mouth-blown pendants by BOMMA.
