Platinum A' Design Award Winner 2020
Scanning this restaurant interior from background to foreground, listeners will construct a double-height space dominated by industrial materials softened through warm metallic accents and thoughtful lighting design. The background reveals an open professional kitchen spanning the left and center portions of the composition, where stainless steel cabinetry with a cool, smooth character like brushed aluminum stretches horizontally beneath a suspended glass and metal framework. Above this kitchen zone, large circular discs in warm copper and rose gold tones, similar in warmth to autumn leaves or polished pennies, hang at various heights, their surfaces catching and reflecting light throughout the space. The ceiling rises high overhead, exposing industrial infrastructure including ductwork and structural elements in neutral gray tones suggesting cool concrete and bare metal. Moving to the right portion of the image, a monumental concrete column commands attention, its surface textured like rough-hewn stone. Embedded within this column, numerous small airplane silhouettes glow with warm golden light reminiscent of candlelight or honey, arranged in a cascading pattern that flows downward like a flock of illuminated birds frozen in flight. The middle ground contains the service counter of the open kitchen, where copper-colored pendant lamps, warm as burnished metal touched by afternoon sun, hang in a row providing focused downward illumination over the food preparation area. Progressing to the foreground, the dining area occupies the lower portion with tables featuring pale wooden or stone surfaces cool and smooth to mental touch. Chairs surrounding these tables feature soft upholstery in dusty rose and warm pink tones, suggesting the plush yielding texture of velvet, their curved backs and cushioned seats inviting comfortable lingering. The overall atmosphere feels warm yet sophisticated, with golden and copper light creating an embracing glow against the cooler industrial backdrop.
The interior of the Polyot restaurant reminds the scenery for a sci-fi movie. The sleek steel shapes and portholes at the entrance make the room look like the cabin of a space shuttle. One of the main principles in the interior of Polyot is minimalism. There is a lack of decor to which the audience in Moscow restaurants is so used, no patterns and ornaments on the walls and in design elements. Instead there are large shining objects.
