# Corrugated Rustic Eateries The OX Restaurant in Helsinki Opts for a Design that Reflects the Menu By M | Published 2016-05-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ox-restaurant References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2016/05/02/joanna-laajisto-ox-restaurant-interior-design-helsinki-corrugated-metal-walls/) & [joannalaajisto](http://joannalaajisto.com/projects/) Joanna Laajisto is the designer behind the interior of the OX restaurant located in Helsinki that features a decor inspired by the eatery's menu. The walls feature a corrugated metal pattern and bright coloring that reflects the restaurant's dual food fusion that combines North African and European flavors. The OX eatery is a stylish and modern location that combines both rustic design with contemporary embellishments. The walls are patterned with metallic corrugated panels that add texture and dimension to the space. The seats and tables feature a dark wood look complete with soft pastels in orange and red shades. In addition, the kitchen is uniquely located at the centre of the restaurant allowing guests to be a part of the cooking experience as they sit as spectators waiting for their meals. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Corrugated Rustic Interiors:** Designing restaurants and cafes with corrugated metal patterns and bright colors that reflect the menu. - **Dual Food Fusion:** Combining North African and European flavors into a single menu. - **Interactive Kitchen Experience:** Locating the kitchen at the center of the restaurant to allow guests to witness the cooking process. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality Industry:** Implementing corrugated rustic designs in hotel lobbies, bars, and lounges. - **Food Industry:** Creating fusion dishes that blend different cultural ingredients and techniques. - **Interior Design Industry:** Incorporating interactive kitchen setups in residential dining areas to enhance the cooking and dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fast-Casual Industrial Style Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rale-milanga.md) - [Reclaimed Interior Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-aether.md) - [Brutalist Museum Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantabrian-maritime-museum.md) - [Garden Shed-Inspired Mexican Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumbago-restaurant.md) - [Garden Shed-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumbago.md) - [Modernist Burger Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omg-burger-i.md) - [Modest Minimal Toronto Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/occhiolino.md) - [Minimally Designed Revamped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etch-restaurant.md) - [Curved Wall Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tin-tin.md)
