Le Pristine, whose main chef is three-Michelin-star Sergio Herman, is set in a 1960s modernist building, but the years of unfinished renovations showcased old brick walls and concrete columns inside the space, which definitely wasn’t the best look for a prestigious restaurant.

“Antwerp is a relatively small city, but extremely design-driven,” said Peter Bundgaard Rützou, who founded Space Copenhagen with Signe Bindslev Henriksen. When they were asked to work on Le Pristine, they decided to keep those old features as a charming point while renovating the rest of the space.

Focusing on the cultural and artistic history of the city, the dark shades that comprise Le Pristine‘s dining area are inspired by Dutch and Flemish old master painters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer and Peter Paul Rubens. Dark green plush leather banquettes perfectly match the bespoke black dining chairs and the extra oak cabinetry that has been stained in grey.

A few colour pops around the restaurant light up the otherwise gloomy atmosphere, such as the five-meter sculpture created by Frederik Molenschot dangling from the ceiling and named “Hacked Cheese” due to being composed of blue-tinted parmesan wheels. The counter of the drinks bar is also made of a pink resin, adding more shades to the space.
