Enhanced with bold colour contrasts and patterns, the design concept of Yes Yes Yes brims with energy, fully embracing playfulness and modern edge. Working closely with the restaurant’s founders, the aim was clear – to create a concept for visual exploration and an environment unlike anything the city has seen before. With this in the forefront of our minds, we set out to create a space that contrasts its environment in Helsinki’s design district, otherwise largely dominated by clean and minimal Scandinavian aesthetics. Yes Yes Yes is first and foremost a burst of flavour, energy, and colour. With a palette ranging from bright red, yellow and tropical greens to soft lilac, pink and turquoise, the main aim has been to create a unique environment that feels fun and joyful for customers and staff alike. The selection of furniture was a chance to further emphasize this – with contrasts between curves and geometrical shapes found throughout the restaurant, the interior is a playful experiment on shapes and their impact on customers’ mindsets. The icing on the cake is the collection of art by local contemporary Finnish artists, hung on the walls as surprising additions to the joyfully saturated environment.
