Karoliina Hellberg’s new large-scale painting Ne m’oublie pas has been placed in the newly opened Café Savoy in Helsinki. The painting is a lush combination of elements characteristic to Hellberg’s works, such as fountains, forget-me-nots, onions and oysters. Like at the original Restaurant Savoy, which just turned 85 this year, design and art are in an important role at Café Savoy. The late Maire Gullichsen, the founder of Restaurant Savoy, Helena Puolakka, the current Chef Patron, and Hellberg all share a love for southern French lifestyle and cuisine.
