The recent uptick of fast casual dining has us wondering if the “fast casual kitchen” could be the next trend in kitchen design. Take Frederik Bille Brahe’s Apollo Bar & Kantine in Copenhagen’s Kunsthal Charlottenborg, the exhibition hall of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The dining hall is relaxed and self-service, designed as a destination for “everyday lunch” for students and drop-ins. Bille Brahe pairs vintage Danish furniture with Picardie glasses and trolley carts, offering up plenty of ideas to steal for your own kitchen (the place where fast, casual cooking happens). Here are the key elements to get the look.
