Interiors and Architecture MANDO is not only identified for its good food but also the original interiors. Pure copper plate covering the walls and ceiling designed by architect Yngve Elland at the extravagant cost of kronor 1.5 million at that time. Reckoned today around 10 times more. The chairs at the bar and restaurant are designed by the world renowed Dane Arne Jacobsen. Tore Lauritzen, the founder of Mando, was highly influenced by America, resulting in the special design for interior details such as coat hangers, lighting, wine racks, etc. Even the toilets are clad with specially desaigned Italian tiles. As there are just as many chairs at the bar as at the dining tables makes Mando a favourite meeting place for social contact. There must be some magic in the air as many have met their life partners here.		Copper covered interiors and chairs designed by Arne Jacobsson.
	Perspective view of chair - first row at bar.   Coat hangers, designed by Ingvar Elland, around the walls laden with furs and overcoats during winter. Copperlamp above the heating cabinet and table no.7. Embedded ceiling fluorescent tubes provide the main lighting rendering a warm and cosy atmosphere.		Door to kitchen next to grill. The red light from the heating cabinet shimmers each time the door swings back and forth.. A fluorescent lamphouse from the 70s above the stairway to the cellar toilets and another to the right of the bar. Still life pictures mostly of raw and bloody chunks of meat appeared to be trendy at that time similar to paintings from the baroque period, perhaps unsightly to vegetarians.
	Mando was unique with take-away food at its Burger-Grill counter. One had to be persuasive introducing new trends, as this USA inspired idea.		Beneath the copperklad ceiling, a magnificient copper stairway railing seen on the way up after a toilet visit.
	A constellation of geometric motives on the square copper plates above the railing.		Italian floor tiles in the toilet areas and the full length mirror in the ladies section
			The exterior by Sten Samuelsson 1966 - cut into the old facade from 1898 creating a blend of neo gothic, the renaissance and jugend style designed by architects Lindvall & Boklund, Malmö.   The beautiful Arne Jacobsen Oxfordshire chairs at the far end of the restaurant, which were first presented at the 1965 World Exhibition in Paris. The design owes its name ”Oxfordshire” to St. Catherines College in Oxfordshire who was the first customer. These chairs are the originals other than the renovated seats in burgundy leather.
