Café & lounge Oslo 2026

Amora Society — a journey into the room.

Amora Society is a café by day and a lounge by night, right on Youngstorget in Oslo. Instead of an ordinary website, we built a journey: you scroll in from the street, through the door and all the way to your table.

A place you have to experience — not just read about.

Amora had no website they could stand behind. The menu existed only on paper in the room, and everything else lived on Instagram.

Anyone searching for the place found no opening hours, no menu and no proper address — just an old draft with outdated prices, on a domain nobody controlled any more. For a venue that lives off people dropping in, that is expensive.

At the same time, Amora doesn't sell a product you can list in a table. What they sell is the feeling of the room — the light, the sound and the smell of coffee. An ordinary page with a few photos and some text would have undersold the place badly.

A page you scroll your way into.

We built the site as one continuous journey: from the street, in through the door, to your table and on into the evening.

Every scroll takes you further inside. Film and photography from the venue take over the screen, the words follow calmly behind, and the logo opens like a pair of doors as the page loads. The full menu is there too — 93 items across four chapters, with the client's own prices and product photography.

    Film from the room
    Six short clips that start on their own as they come into view, and stop as they leave it.

Hand-coded, without heavy frameworks.

The site is hand-coded, with GSAP and ScrollTrigger driving the motion. No WordPress and no page builder — which gives full control over every single transition, and a page that loads fast even when it's full of film.

Videos are fetched only when they are actually needed, images load as you scroll, and all motion switches itself off automatically for visitors who have turned on “reduce motion” on their device.

Live — and 42% lighter.

The site went live on societyamora.com on 20 July 2026. The same evening we halved the weight of the video, with no visible loss of quality.
