Twister Restaurant, Kiev

[Honey]

Twister is a newly opened restaurant in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The design team, Sergey Makhno and Vasily Butenko also of Kiev, work on residential and commercial interiors and architecture but we are particularly fascinated by their furniture and their sculptural approach to interiors. We wrote about one of their office projects a while ago.



In Twister, the duo has captured the upward pull of a tornado in the main two-storey dining area with furnishings that seem to hover above the floor on their super-slim legs, with light fixtures resembling rain drops, and with massive sculptural columns that are in fact crow's-nest balconies.


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. - Tuija Seipell.

I don't think I hate it, but after opening night, those pinecone chairs will be trashed and uncleanable. Wouldn't want to go there after they've been open a while with all the dropped stuff that would get stuck in the seams.

I was disappointed because I thought the floor would have different coloured circles and you'd have to be a contortionist to eat there.

That wall reminds me of the movie, Get Him To The Greek
