Restaurant Bistro Louis

For Bistro Louis, I was asked to design a completely new space that initially lacked any character. The goal was an interior with a timeless feel—a blend of Parisian and old Dutch, warm enough to dine for entire evenings and cozy enough to instantly feel at ease. Because the base was so neutral, the emphasis was on customization and the choice of materials to define the restaurant's soul.

We opted for a lot of wood, both in the walls and furniture, which immediately gave the space warmth and depth. Custom-made benches, wood paneling, and a carefully designed bar create rhythm and a clear structure in the interior. Everything was designed to last without losing any of its charm.

A large wine cabinet is one of the most important elements in the space. Here, bottles and glasses are given a prominent place—not hidden, but visible, as part of the experience. It fits the atmosphere of long dinners, good conversations, and evenings that unfold slowly.
The combination of soft lighting, rounded shapes, and natural materials creates an intimate atmosphere without overshadowing the overall ambiance. The interior has a familiar feel, as if it's always been there, yet feels fresh and contemporary.

Bistro Louis has become a place where people love to linger: warm, inviting, and with a timeless feel that perfectly complements the cuisine and the restaurant's rhythm.
