Jyvaskyla, Finland
Amarillo Restaurants is a casual dining brand of over 20 Mexican restaurants in Finland, which boasts an unrivalled reputation for its fresh vibrant atmosphere as well as good food. The group of restaurants is currently going through a refresh of its estate, with Jyvaskyla in central Finland the latest location to be refurbished.
The new interior, by celebrated designer Jaana Ekman of Visionary Design Partners, Helsinki, has completely transformed the venue and is now generating rave reviews in the hospitality sector since it opened in October 2018. Much of the furniture for the new interior has been sourced from Andy Thornton.
In the restaurant’s main dining area, with its brick and tiled walls, industrial light pendants and bleached oak parquet flooring, Andy Thornton dining chairs have been used extensively. Their hugely popular Factory side chairs are a perfect foil for the tan leather banquet seating and cast iron dining tables with distressed timber tops. These have been mixed with Andy Thornton French café side chairs, supplied in a burnished copper finish.
Elsewhere, close to the industrial steel shelving units, mesh balustrading and divider screens, our Soho side chairs with tan leather seat and back complement the bespoke banquette seating and patina tables.
