The brief
Taking the restaurant from a traditional pub atmosphere to a stylish, intimate and contemporary interior, without losing its iconic character.
In this project
- Complete renewal of the restaurant interior
- Contemporary take on the flying carpet on the ceiling
- Wine cabinet in green tinted glass
West Flemish icon Het Vliegend Tapijt in Kortrijk received a contemporary interior in grey with deep orange and light blue, and a new take on its flying carpet.
Restaurant Het Vliegend Tapijt is a West Flemish icon, renowned in the past for its excellent cuisine, its essential bar and the unique music selection of the owner. When chef Felix took over from his parents a few years ago, he had big shoes to fill.
In 2019 the restaurant underwent a thorough makeover. The challenge was to take it from a traditional pub atmosphere to a more stylish, intimate and contemporary interior that combines shades of grey with warm accents in deep orange and light blue.
Because of its iconic status, some existing elements were preserved in the design. The well known flying carpet on the ceiling, for instance, received a contemporary interpretation.
Another characteristic feature of the restaurant is its remarkable selection of biodynamic and natural wines, elegantly presented in a showcase cabinet of green tinted glass.
