Founded by Mads Refslund, formerly of NOMA, MR became the first Danish fish-focused restaurant to receive a Michelin star.
The interior, designed by Monitz Architects, was conceived to deepen the sensory experience of seafood and flowers while reflecting the balance found in nature.
The space featured walls of 3D-printed floral forms, subtly lit with adjustable lighting inspired by Japanese shadow play. Sound played an equally important role: guests dined to an underwater soundscape composed of fish mating calls and water recordings.
Together, food, space, light, and sound formed a quiet but immersive dining experience—where culinary craft and spatial design merged into a single, memorable atmosphere.

The project explores the tension between containment and openness at sea. Inspired by patterns of diffusion and the leopard’s markings, the design translates these ideas into a rhythmic bar element and subtle parametric forms.

Amidst a quaint harbor in Zealand's embrace, A Nordic charm emanates from our bar's space. Inspired by the ocean's lull and sway, Our materials echo its washed wood and stones on display. From sand dunes and heather to the grasses sway, Our design's essence captures nature's gentle play.
