Table Noir cutlery designed for BARR by Snøhetta

DESIGNED FOR BARR

Even the smallest detail plays an important part at Restaurant Barr which has made their premises in Strandgade 93, Copenhagen, a historical and veritable food temple. The interior, designed by world-renowned architects Snøhetta, instantly prepares your senses for the gourmet experience you are about to have at Barr.

At the centre of the experience is of course the carefully prepared food, but also the cutlery – tailor-made to play an integrated role in the dining experience. A totally unique cutlery created by TABLE NOIR for Barr - designed by Snøhetta in close collaboration with TABLE NOIR.

The result is a set of cutlery, knife, fork, spoon and teaspoon that has a sturdy feel to it and reflects the kind of luxury ‘traditional cooking’ that the Barr kitchen is based on. The cutlery is large. Both tablespoon and teaspoon are designed to dig in deep and all parts have a unique and refined rustic surface that has been obtained by stone-washing the finished stainless-steel cutlery.

Many parts - one whole.

TABLE NOIR designed for Barr by Snøhetta is tailor-made to be a strong design in its own right - while also being an integral part of Barr´s overall dining experience. The knife, fork, spoon and teaspoon are harmonious and beautiful individually – and as a set they feel like a natural part of the Barr experience.

The cutlery designed for BARR is created from the philosophy: many parts - one whole.

Despite the slightly oversized look and the rustic finish, TABLE NOIR designed for Barr by Snøhetta has its own distinct elegance and ease. A soft furrow in the shaft reflects corresponding furrows in Barr's huge wooden bar and the large ceiling beams. The transition between the shaft and the head of the fork and both spoons is slim and has an elegant swivel that lifts the shaft slightly from the table, making the cutlery easier to grab. Another almost invisible detail on the backside of the shaft ensures that the cutlery stay sturdy on the table.

All parts lie perfectly balanced in your hand and the special stone-washed finish gives an exceptionally soft, warm and unique finish.

Barr Matte - 4 persons (16 pcs)

The international architects and Designcompany Snøhetta has in close collaboration with the Danish design brand Table Noir designed a tailor-made set of cutlery for the top-restaurant Barr, in Copenhagen.

The Table Noir cutlery for BARRs has been developed in collaboration with the Executive Chef and Co-founder of Barr, Thorsten Schmidt, with the aim of further enhancing the experience of the restaurant. By fall 2018 the cutlery set will be made available for sale online and in selected stores, enabling more people to take part in Barr’s culinary story.

– The new cutlery optimizes the tactile and physical experience of dining at Barr, says head chef and restaurateur Thorsten Schmidt. – The cutlery is not merely defined by aesthetics or functionality; it actually enhances the enjoyment of the food and thus elevates the eating experience itself. When you lift your spoon or fork, the sturdy weight of the cutlery gives you a stronger sensory experience in relation to the food.

The cutlery is a natural progression of the formal, yet informal qualities of the graphic and interior design developed for the restaurant by Snøhetta. The restaurant design is driven by a strong duality and juxtaposition of the old and the new, where raw materials such as wood, leather and wool evoke the restaurant’s Northern influence. By carefully crafting a cutlery set that would match this expression, the design team has successfully managed to echo the look and feel of Barr and enhance the overall restaurant experience.

The cutlery conveys a nostalgic yet timeless expression through recognizable cut outs in the handles. The shapes are carefully aligned, creating harmony between the individual pieces of the cutlery so that they form a natural whole, like letters in the same font. The handles are shaped to contribute to a more ergonomic experience and designed so that they stack easily into each other and lie steadily in the table setting box.

The fine details that can withstand life

The cutlery is designed to survive the busy life in a restaurant in great shape - and for decades of use in your home. The material is stainless-steel, hand polished to remove all sharp edges - even between the teeth of the fork. In addition, the furrow of the shaft has the practical function of enabling stacking both horizontally and vertically. .
At Barr, cutlery for four is arranged on the table in a box, beautifully stacked, the same can be done at home to upgrade your next dinner arrangement to a star restaurant experience

Stone-washed - or silky soft

The cutlery at Barr is stone-washed to achieve a unique signature finish. Partly to match Snøhetta’s design philosophy for Barr inspired by microstructures, partly to meet the restaurant's desire for a cutlery that will withstand daily handling and dish washing. The stone-washed finish also has an unpretentious look that matches the restaurant's overall philosophy.

If you want to lay your own dinner table at home exactly like Barr, then choose the stone-washed finish. For a more classic expression, it is also possible to choose a silkier finish on the TABLE NOIR designed for Barr by Snøhetta cutlery. Both variants are of course dishwasher safe..
