Studio Frantzén
Opening in October 2024 at Atlantis The Palm, Studio Frantzén marks Chef Björn Frantzén’s debut in the Middle East, bringing his distinctive Nordic-Asian vision to Dubai. Spanning 3,000 square feet, Studio Frantzén offers guests an immersive dining experience across a captivating main dining room, a stylish bar, a dedicated candy room, and an exclusive private dining area. Each space is distinct yet connected by a cohesive narrative. Bishop Design’s approach to Studio Frantzén draws from the mystique of Nordic landscapes, blending natural textures with luxurious details to create an environment that feels rooted in both Dubai’s vibrancy and Scandinavian heritage, while merging the essence of a casual, à la carte eatery with an immersive ambiance.

A candlelight chandelier, which dominates the main dining area, pays homage to the limited sunlight in Scandinavia, where candlelight is a soulful element of daily life. This ambiance celebrates the Nordic reverence for light, with subtle textures and handcrafted elements bringing a bespoke quality to the space, enhancing its charm and allure.
Each space within Studio Frantzén flows into the next, creating an inviting journey. The restaurant’s bar and dining area open into intimate zones with layered textures and immersive art, paying homage to Scandinavian traditions through a modern lens. Nordic-inspired elements, like wooden screens and whimsical accessories, are reimagined with bold, contemporary interpretations, giving Studio Frantzén a dynamic character.
