Spacon & X envisioned ÅBEN’s new beer-focused destination at Copenhagen Airport. Located just before security, the versatile meeting space signifies innovative Danish design. Created to address the lack of a social hub at Copenhagen airport, ÅBEN’s bar offers a place for travelers, airport employees and beer enthusiasts to enjoy a drink on the go or comfortably connect over a diverse selection of locally brewed beers. Spacon & X designed ÅBEN’s bar with versatility in mind. The space features a variety of zones: guests can gather around meandering tables designed to mimic the look of airport conveyor belts or settle in quiet booths for a more relaxed, intimate experience. Spacon & X invited Natural Material Studio to create handcrafted panels that act as spatial dividers hanging at different levels. Effectively, making ÅBEN less open by serving as a soft transition between the bar’s open spaces and the more intimate areas further inside. ÅBEN bar’s color palette reflects a balance between aesthetics and comfort. The cream-colored floor is complemented by Japanese tiles in warm orange hues. Wooden elements feature a rich red-tinged organic linseed oil finish, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
