The project for a two-story Georgian restaurant involved more than just creating an interior—it involved building a real house. The architectural spirit of a traditional Georgian darbazi was taken as a basis, with its coziness, hospitality, and main material: wood.
The space is designed as a two-story dwelling. The first floor is an open area where guests can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of a feast. Going up to the second floor, you encounter a more intimate setting: here there are soft sofas and armchairs with fur throws, reminiscent of Caucasian burkas. A round stove in a metal case with a live fire adds homely comfort to the hall with a large communal table.
The key here was playing with contrasts in the spirit of eclecticism. Massive wooden ceiling beams reminiscent of ancient darbazis are combined with elegant chandeliers, woven lamps, unobtrusive touches of national ornamentation, and modern chairs and armchairs from premium Italian brands, creating a multi-layered, complex picture.
