A CELEBRATION OF HISTORY AND INNOVATION 

​

Originally designed in the early 1920s by renowned architect Einar Oscar Schou—and inspired by Norway’s beloved fairytales—the building has been restored with a sustainable, modern approach by Sol Design, led by visionary Sonja Solstrand. “I sought to capture the soul of the historical building, keeping it alive while dressing it in a new suit,” she explains, with a design concept rooted in heritage and connection.

 

DYNAMIC DESIGN THAT CONNECTS WITH NATURE 

 

Inside, Fløirestauranten is a fusion of old and new. Expansive spaces invite guests to unwind after a hike or catch up with friends, while custom fixtures and iconic Nordic furniture, including meticulously restored vintage Knag chairs, pay tribute to Bergen’s design legacy. Carefully curated lighting—from Nuura’s nature-inspired pieces to Bocci’s modern, cloud-like fixtures—enhances the organic flow of the space.

 

INSPIRED BY THE LANDSCAPE AND COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY 

 

Drawing from the lush surroundings of Fløyen Mountain, the color palette blends green tones with earthy hues for a warm, calming ambiance. Reclaimed wood flooring, repurposed timber, and revived brass details underscore the commitment to sustainable design that honors the building’s original charm.

 

Fløirestauranten isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an immersive experience where history meets modern design, offering a unique blend of elegance, comfort, and cultural depth.
