Between the dyke and the dunes of Duinbergen near Knokke-Heist lies the new restaurant Dunas. The interior was designed by Grain Designoffice. Thanks to the captivating, tactile mix of natural materials and colours, the Belgian interior architect agency perfectly captured the soul of the North Sea.A special feature is the entrance with reception desk in Belgian bluestone, a ceiling from which dune grass grows and lighting reminiscent of the setting sun.

Every colour also finds its origin at sea. From stormy deep blues and greys to greens and beiges reminiscent of soft summer days.The interior is serene, but at the same time manages to surprise with some unexpected twists. A concrete back wall curves around a cluster of benches,creating a sense of intimacy and security while dining. It stands in stark contrast to the open bar in the centre of the restaurant that serves not only guests, but also passers-by who pop in for a quick aperitif.

In the room,the overview of the space is complete. It clarifies the balance between open and closed spaces,between high and low seating comfort and between soft and rough textures. The short walkways between the kitchen and the hall are also a grateful element in the restaurant's practical layout. The acoustic plastering of the ceiling benefits the restaurant experience both aesthetically and functionally. 

In the private dining area,Grain Designoffice's statement is fully expressed. With acoustic plastering from ceiling to floor,an artistic wall-to-wall carpet by Pierre Frey,a chandelier by Haberdashery that shines like the sun on the waves and a table made by Grain with lake poles as legs, make one almost literally step into the North Sea.
