Text description provided by the architects. Farang is located in Norrmalm in the heart of Stockholm. Farang combines the intimacy of contemporary Asian restaurant with the urbanity of a Stockholm street level space.
Ground floor of an old industrial building was turned into a 700 m² fine dining restaurant. The restaurant contains a dining hall with 160 seats, as well as a cocktail bar with 50 seats and cabinet. The simple material palette such as wood, steel, concrete and fabrics allows enjoyment and visuality of food to take center stage. Industrial character and charm of the old space was kept while adding contemporary restaurant and cocktail bar facilities of very high quality. The design makes a clear distinction between old and new elements by leaving the old space as a fully visible frame for the new functions.
Farang Stockholm is the fourth restaurant Futudesign has completed for BW-Restaurants. Other three successful restaurants; Farang, Gaijin and Boulevard Social are in Helsinki.
