Laura Seppänen curates an ultra-sleek natural restaurant interior for Maannos — a kitchen and bar in Helsinki. The design proves to be exceptionally contemporary and well-arranged through mixed-material use and properly positioned classical accents. The Finish creative is successful in communicating the eating establishment's ethos and is able to foster a strong welcoming and elegant atmosphere.
The palette of the natural restaurant interior is directly informed by Maannos' menu offerings which boast a farm-to-table approach. The focus lies largely on vegetarian dishes, for which the ingredients have been, for the most part, "exclusively grown in Finland." This, paired with Laura Seppänen's exceptionally curated interior, provides consumers with access to high-quality food in an incredibly contemporary and design-forward environment.
