    Holmen Lofoten | Kitchen on the Edge of the World

    An idea remains just that until someone has the heart and drive to turn it into something more—only then does it become a reality. Such is the case with Holmen Lofoton; a concept so remote from feasibility, its very existence alone is award-worthy, and yet it exists. It takes a unique kind of vision to…
