The YOI Restaurant by Lomar Arkitektur is a marriage of Asian culture and Swedish design. The Stockholm-based eatery features a pan-Asian menu and a minimalist design that stays true to its nation's traditions.
The team from Lomar Arkitekter worked to create the minimalist interior that is reminiscent of a street market. With vibrant hints of mint green and a bright yellow feature wall, the space is both polished and expressive.
Using corrugated steel and wood, the design firm created a simplistic yet spirited space that features cement floors and exposed ceilings. With a mix of neutral tones and subtle hints of bright colors, the interior acts as the perfect backdrop for bright city scene photography that hangs on its walls.
From its retro-inspired furnishings to its industrial fixtures, the YOI Restaurant by Lomar Arkitektur is the perfect fusion of two cultures.
