Branding and Visual Identity

The logo was created by Studio Pfanzelter, with whom we collaborated closely to expand the visual identity and branding elements. Photography of the interiors and dishes was provided by Sune Eriksen, whose imagery plays a central role in the site’s storytelling.

The website’s visual direction is built on clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic, with a colour palette inspired by the Nordic landscape. Full-screen photography highlights signature dishes and the restaurant’s sophisticated interior, offering visitors a taste – both literal and visual – of what awaits them in person.

A fixed “Reserve” button is strategically placed to streamline the booking process.Responsive design ensures optimal performance on all devices – from mobile phones to large desktop screens – recognising that many guests discover and book restaurants while on the go.

Effortless Updates

With FAN’s focus on seasonal ingredients, the site was built with a flexible content management system, enabling the team to easily add or update menu items and content. This ensures both the restaurant and the website stay relevant and fresh throughout the year.
