The days of generic hamburgers are, luckily, long gone. For quite some time now, inner cities across large swathes of the planet have witnessed a new phenomenon—the gourmet burger parlour. Obviously, Copenhagen is no exception. Founded six years ago, occupying a former gas station in the heart of the Danish capital, the aptly named Gasoline Grill banked has banked on the growing popularity of its artisanal, organic burger, growing into a network of downtown restaurants, and keeping matters fresh and grounded, a rentable, fully-equipped food truck. For the opening of its sixth downtown restaurant, Gasoline Grill collaborated with local architecture practice Studio David Thulstrup. The dining venue sits on the ground floor of a stately structure built in 1901 and sees an understated interior design with a freestanding open kitchen and counter. The counter top and flooring comprise of sand-tinted terrazzo flooring, and this somehow ties in with a range of sturdy oak stools, designed in collaboration with German design company e15. A suspended canopy of galvanized steel hovers over the kitchen, and while it blends with kitchen furnishings below, it also offers an interesting contrast with the existing arched ceiling. As said, Gasoline Grill offers its avid following organic burgers, but not only that. The buns, fries, all garnishes and drinks are organic.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
