Verandah

Verandah is an Indian restaurant in the Customs House in Copenhagen, a building from the 1930.

Verandah’s design is the work of the original 1930’s building housing the restaurant serving as inspiration for the design process. The goal was to create a ‘colonial style space with a warm and intimate feel’, wanting to dispel the wide held myth in Denmark that  Indian cuisine equals fast food. 

Combined Dutch and Indian heritage to develop the concept of indoor/ outdoor entertaining and created a podium made of Dinesen floorboards to evoke the feeling a traditional verandah. The use of outdoor furniture incorporating trees with fragrant flowers also enhanced the outdoors feel. Elements like the Beetle Chair and the Haiku Sofa, designed respectively for Gubi and Fredericia Furniture, added the clean, sophisticated touch so closely associated with Scandinavian design.
