When René Redzepi shut Noma, his four times world’s best restaurant, and began planning Noma 2.0 it was a fresh beginning with a brand-new building and a new menu based around three seasons. To realize his vision for the interiors he commissioned David Thulstrup. Guests are welcomed through a greenhouse brimming with plants.

David Thulstrup looked to residential design rather than hospitality, seeking to evoke a feeling of being at home. The new restaurant is housed in a series of farm-like buildings designed by the Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, each building has a sole function and is made of a single material, tombac, wood or bricks. The interior architecture had to be true to the structure and echo the external materials.

The intimate private dining room showcases a six-meter-long table constructed from a 160-year-old tree, surrounded by elegant Dinesen Douglas fir finishes.
