Filling the [modest space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loong-noodles), the restaurant takes advantage of the location's intimate structure with [comfortable furnishings and local art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniels-room). Using [warm and earthy tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-1), the design team created a space that anchors all of the black chairs and tables into a formation that can seat small or large groups. Mixing impressive design with high-end food, the restaurant serves Eastern cooking styles from Malaysia and Singapore -- creating a unique and luxurious menu. The new Restaurant IBU is found in the bustling Vesterbro neighborhood of Copenhagen, attracting both locals and tourists with a cozy space and luxe comfort food.
