What does it look like when food is the main character of the play?
That was the question we started with when building the visual universe for Tablå in Trondheim. A restaurant reimagining classics through culinary craftsmanship and theatrical flair. A living picture located inside Trøndelag Teater where every dish creates a scene, every serving has rhythm, pauses, and moments of anticipation.
We found the answers in the manuscripts. A stage where theatre and food merge, through chef's notes, introductions and details that make an evening feel like a performance worth remembering. And with colors inspired by the colored papers for versioning manuscripts.
Photography plays a vital role in bringing this story to life. It reinforces the restaurant’s personality, celebrates the ingredients as the true protagonists, and highlights the knowledge, confidence and sense of humour of the three young restaurateurs behind it. The dishes are captured with dramatic, theatrical lighting and composed as carefully crafted tableaux (tablå), while behind-the-scenes moments from the kitchen, the ingredients and the preparations are photographed in natural light. Close, honest and tactile, revealing the craftsmanship behind every scene.
Huge thank you to Hans, Emil and Konrad for playing their part in this collaboration.
We congratulate Tablå on the amazing review and a 6/6 score in Adresseavisen last week, and highly recommend you book your table asap!
