Minimalist Scandinavian Pancake Joints

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pancake Social Establishes a Design-Forward Ambiance

— July 18, 2019 — Art & Design
Pancake Social is a breakfast restaurant in Atlanta. The establishment commissioned NO Architecture to design an interior that is uplifting, minimalist, but eye-catching. The studio embraced the sensibilities of Scandinavian design, boasting a subtle color palette and strong hints to modernity. To add a little bit of a flair to the interior of Pancake Social, NO Architecture also adorned the space with "retro tiles and [a] gingham print."

One of the most potent vehicles of Scandinavian design is surely the "pale woods and white details." A friendly juxtaposition has been reached with the incorporation of playfully upholstered seating in a checkered orange-dominating pattern. The ample natural light also contributes to the ethereal aesthetic of Pancake Social.
