Nestled in the picturesque harbor of Bekkjarvik, Norway, Mirabelle restaurant sits on the third floor of the historic Beckerwyc House hotel. It embodies the passion of Chef Ørjan Johannessen for haute cuisine and his deep commitment to nature. Globally renowned as a 2015 Bocuse d'Or winner—the most prestigious international culinary competition—Johannessen has crafted a space that seamlessly blends culinary excellence with interior design inspired by the unparalleled beauty of Nordic landscapes.
To bring his vision to life, Johannessen chose Neolith surfaces, opting for the sophisticated Neolith Colorado Dunes and Neolith Calatorao models. These surfaces were instrumental in transforming the space, offering both durability and an inspiring aesthetic.
A space that inspires and transcends time
Designed by the Norwegian studio Sol Design, Mirabelle’s interior harmonizes contemporary materials with a cozy and elegant ambiance. The project achieves a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, creating an environment that invites guests to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience.

Neolith Colorado Dunes was selected for the dining tables, serving stations, and fireplaces, bringing warmth and a natural touch that connects with the Scandinavian surroundings. This model, with its earthy tones and subtle veining, perfectly complements the restaurant’s design.
In the course kitchen and bar, Neolith Calatorao takes center stage. Its dark and elegant finish adds a unique sophistication, while its resistance to daily wear ensures exceptional performance in such a demanding workspace.
“For me, it was essential to have a stylish, refined kitchen with striking countertops that are both durable and easy to maintain”
Ørjan Johannessen,
Chef and owner, Mirabelle
Redefining sensory experiences through sustainable design
Sustainability was a cornerstone in Mirabelle’s design, aligning with Neolith’s values as a leading brand in environmentally conscious sintered stone surfaces made from natural raw materials. This project stands out for its use of high-quality materials that minimize ecological impact while maintaining a luxurious aesthetic.
Chef Johannessen, celebrated for his ability to bring the flavors of the sea and land to their fullest expression, finds in his restaurant’s design an extension of his culinary philosophy, known as “Island Gastronomy.”
