Stockholm-based Note Design Studio was inspired by an unlikely source when renovating the interior for 'FineFood Kärlek och Mat,' a Swedish restaurant and coffee shop located in Stockholm.
The designers looked at images of Death Valley, a desert basin that's described as "the land of extremes," in order to come up with a palette of mint and teal, paired with coral and salmon hues. The images came from a series by artist Jordan Sullivan, who faithfully documented the landscape.
The desert-inspired pastels, which introduce a sense of serenity to the space, are complemented by lightweight furniture. The bar and counter tops are clad in a green Guatremale marble throughout. Finally, natural light enters and brightens the interior through a series of full-aspect windows.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- Natural-light Accentuation
- Incorporating full-aspect windows to brighten up interior spaces and make them look more visually appealing.
- Lightweight Furniture Pieces
- Using lightweight furniture that is not only visually appealing but also extremely functional and easy to move around in different settings.
Sectors Adopting This
- Hospitality Industry

- Interior Design Industry
- Incorporating natural light and desert-inspired pastels as a way to create unique and beautiful interiors for homes, offices, and other settings.
