Tourism & Travel
English term or phrase: pared down
Traduction d'un article sur Copenhague.

En général et dans des contextes plus "marketing", je traduis "pared down" par "réduit" mais ce contexte "touristique" me pose quelques problèmes.

"The interior's pared down design is the work of British restaurateur Terence Conran."
"The Paris collection is eagerly awaited by Denmark's fashion crowd, with its pared down Nordic look."

Merci d'avance à tous pour vos suggestions.
