Interior design of the restaurant "SVOBOBODY!" in the center of Minsk, on Svobody Square.

The main task in designing the interior of the restaurant was to return the space to its history, disturbed by previous repairs, to erase the gloss and glossy coldness. Yes, of course, we didn't uncover the old layers simply like archaeologists. As the building has undergone many renovations, in many ways history had to be reinvented, but inventing legends is a great reason for inspiration.

There are virtually no prefabricated elements and features in the interior of the restaurant. Everything is either renewed or redesigned. Like the lamps above the bar made from camping pots and pans. Like the plaster casts of David's head used by art school and academy students. Fortunately, the shiny floor we inherited was also made of natural stone, and we gave it back its natural nobility.

It was the culmination of our efforts to make the interior of the "SVOBODY" restaurant last 200 years during the six-month renovation, so that no customer could doubt afterwards that he had come to a restaurant with a centuries-old history. Of course it is impossible, but does anyone have to do the impossible ?
