项目的最初意愿是在雷克雅未克市区创造一个优雅的，永久性环境。设计师的设计灵感来源于当地60年代起就流行的传统咖啡厅，这种传统的咖啡厅的设计将人与人之间的距离拉近。Matbars的风格反映出它的烹饪风格，即新型北欧实用主义配合意式和地中海式风情。所有室内装饰，家具及灯具均由冰岛本地工匠特别定制。该餐厅的品牌标识也由设计师设计。

Our ambition was to create a timeless and elegant spot that could grow and prosper in downtown Reykjavík.  We were inspired by the local Cafés and bars, still in their original state since the 60’s and wanted to recreate that friendly atmosphere where the Interior design plays it’s role in bringing people closer together.  Matbars’s style reflects it’s cuisine – the new Nordics pragmatism with a health dose of Italian and Mediterranean charm. All interiors, furniture and lights are custom made in Iceland by local craftsmen. The graphic identity of the restaurant was also developed by our team.
