The Icelandic design studio HAF Studio oversaw the design of the area, while Krot & Krass created the wall art that decorates the space. The focus was on creating a cohesive environment that warmly welcomes guests, echoing the ambiance of downtown Reykjavík. “We aimed to craft a cozy and relaxed city-center vibe familiar to locals, inspired by the food halls that have opened around Reykjavík in recent years. This vision guided every aspect of the design. While striving for a unified look across the interiors, we ensured each restaurant retained its distinct identity. In my view, the project turned out exceptionally well. It was a unique opportunity to design a setting for these incredible restaurants and a true pleasure to celebrate this milestone with the people behind them,” said Hafsteinn Júlíusson, owner of HAF Studio.
