Mikkeller & Friends, Copenhagen, Denmark

Mikkeller & Friends, a contemporary beer hall located in Copenhagen's Nørrebro district, is the slightly unorthodox collaboration between a former maths and physics teacher and two of his pupils from one of the city's colleges. Tutor Mikkel Borg Bjergsø and students Tobias Emil Jensen and Tore Gynther started brewing beer in the school’s facilities after classes, going on to establish the wildly popular Danish microbreweries Mikkeller and To Øl. They aim to brew up something new with their latest venture, Mikkeller & Friends, a modern take on the Bierstube that offers 40 beers on tap. Turquoise floors, walls and bar top contrast with the custom-made wooden bar, seats, tables and lights assembled by Kristian Lillelund of carpentry studio Rum4. Designer Karsten K Lülloff's vision was of an informal, masculine setting, so he left the blond wood untreated and kept the furniture freestanding, enabling customers to congregate in their own intimate groups.

End...Link Beauty Salon, Osaka, Japan

Salons are popping up across Japan faster than you can say Konnichiwa. And the design community is as key to their inception as the grooming world. Osaka's newest beauty atelier, End...Link, showcases a minimalist architectural aesthetic with intriguing functional features. Owner Tomohiko Masuda wanted to create a space that could be modified to suit his staff's needs and enlisted the expertise of Japanese designers Yasunari Tsukada to do so. The designers chose to work with light wood and white for the interior to keep the narrow space feeling airy and uncluttered. The three-dimensional wooden lattice walls are a functional accomplishment, with glass panel inserts that can be rearrange to alter the layout of the shelves.
