“Twister” Restaurant in Ukraine by Sergey Makhno & Vasiliy Butenko

“Twister” is a newly opened restaurant in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The design team, Sergey Makhno and Vasiliy Butenko also work on residential and commercial interiors and architecture but we are particularly fascinated by their furniture and their sculptural approach to interiors. the project also features a double-height restaurant, with curving booths on stilts above the regular dining furniture below. The drop-shaped lamps are intended to represent rain.

The bar area is yet another iteration of a bird’s nest with walls covered with thatched sticks and with cushy seats resembling pods or cones. The warm-toned color palette conveys a sense of calm throughout, in spite of the avian connotations and air-borne allusions.

Design team of Serghii Makhno and Vasiliy Butenko have completed the interior for a restaurant in Kiev, where you can feel like baby bird while drinking cocktail or have a dinner at tornado top. This restaurant can be classed as modern European and offers a molecular kitchen style dishes. Two-storeyed dining section was inspired by two natural phenomenas: tornado and rain. The space features six tornado shape balconies which create one dynamical upper zone with five dining cells. Restaurant walls lined with wooden slats create contrast balconies smooth surface. Ceiling lamps imitate rain drops falling from the sky so complete atmosphere is very natural and ensures comfort. Spaces of the restaurant are calming due to the natural tones which extend throughout the restaurant: beige, ochre, garnet, brown. The bar itself is made of wooden sticks stuck together among themselves. This wall decoration creates feeling of bird’s nest where you can feel warm and cosy. Armchair design remind us coniferous cones and forest. The whole place is made for relax and changing people’s mind to meditative spirit.
