Case: Bobe

In a well-designed restaurant, every detail is planned. From the layout to the lighting, each element influences the guest experience. Coffee table books are one of those details that often go unnoticed initially - but still leave an impression.











At Restaurant Bobe in Copenhagen, the design is deliberate – from the lighting and materials to the layout and even the coffee table books. The space is clean and understated, and the books help support that tone. They’re not there to entertain, but to contribute to a setting that’s well-considered and consistent in its expression.













Books in a restaurant aren’t there to fill empty space - they serve to enhance it. A few well-placed volumes on a shelf, ledge, or sideboard add structure and texture. They soften clean lines, create natural divisions in the room, and contribute to a lived-in but deliberate feel.
