Natural oak, stainless steel, and raw linen compose the palette, brought to life through floating wall shelves, sculptural sconces, and a steel washbasin. A slice of a Polish tree trunk welcomes visitors by the entrance, rooting the project in Mati\u2019s origins. Meanwhile, bold yellow plywood shelving, a nod to home interiors, brings a burst of playful color and points to the quiet centerpiece of the space: a single yellow dot that appears throughout.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sound is also central to the Amator experience. Beneath the rear window sit a vinyl shelf and a pair of custom Arda Audio speakers, forming a mini soundscape zone curated by Mati. Here, guests are invited to linger, enjoy music on a turntable, and absorb the space\u2019s thoughtful layers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1129377 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"wiercinski-studio builds cozy 'amator' restaurant around modular oak table in copenhagen\" width=\"818\" height=\"1091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/wiercinski-studio-cozy-amator-restaurant-modular-oak-table-copenhagen-designboom-05.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>rooted in the idea of \u2018a home dining place\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1129376 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"wiercinski-studio builds cozy 'amator' restaurant around modular oak table in copenhagen\" width=\"818\" height=\"1091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/wiercinski-studio-cozy-amator-restaurant-modular-oak-table-copenhagen-designboom-04.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>a jagged communal oak table is designed to shift from individual settings to a unified dining surface<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1129378 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"wiercinski-studio builds cozy 'amator' restaurant around modular oak table in copenhagen\" width=\"818\" height=\"1091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/wiercinski-studio-cozy-amator-restaurant-modular-oak-table-copenhagen-designboom-06.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the raw materiality and the warm, earthy palette mirror Mati\u2019s vegetable-focused cuisine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"wiercinski-studio\u2019s Amator is a homey dining place in copenhagen \u00a0 A fresh addition to Copenhagen\u2019s \u00d8sterbro district, Amator&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3939],"tags":[26693,4021,4020,4022,77,12858,20045,16,15,26694],"class_list":{"0":"post-49353","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-architecture-in-denmark","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-restaurant-and-cafe-design","14":"tag-table-design","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wiercinski-studio"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114398590820722698","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
