ÄNG invites nature in. The Swedish word ‘äng’ means ‘meadow’, and the restaurant is named after its surroundings. The building rises out of the waving grassland in a Swedish meadow where water, rocks and trees dot the wide open landscape. With inspiration from a greenhouse, the restaurant is built entirely from glass, from floor to ceiling, and offers spectacular 360-degree views of the natural and ever-changing Halland scenery.

Nature is an essential aspect of the restaurant’s architecture, interior and materials, with all elements carefully selected and made from natural resources. This focus shapes the guest’s journey through the restaurant. The strong link between outside and inside is underscored as the guests step from the stones outside onto the stone floor inside, which acts as a direct continuation of the restaurant’s natural setting. The grey stone floor is balanced by furniture in solid oak from Karimoku and soft textile wall coverings from Kvadrat.

As the guests move further into the restaurant, wood comes to play a more central role. In the dining rooms, Dinesen Layers in Oak forms a harmonious background for the performance of the gastronomical third act.
