Restaurant "August 13"

The entire space of the restaurant is divided into two parts — a bright one with round tables for two and a terracotta one for large feasts. Between them, in the very center, there is a living tree. The softness of the velvety sofas and armchairs makes the illuminated bunches of golden wheat ears arranged in lush rows along the walls even more enveloping and comfortable.
And candles.
Lots of candles!

The breath of fire adds intimacy to a romantic meeting, family gatherings, and a cheerful friendly dinner.
By the way, artificial light is great next to it in the form of a complex system of spotlights, glass balls on black supports and retro-style lampshades. A kind of modest eclecticism and attractive layering.

The real cultural heritage of the country, the emotional second language of its inhabitants, is embodied in panels of plates on the wall — each of them depicts hands folded in a characteristic gesture.
After leaving the restaurant, the guests will take away not only impressions, but also knowledge, decorate their speech with a pair of elegant, truly Italian movements.

I matched them with cutlery, napkin holders and dishes.
The subdued glow of copper looks impressively noble, and also correlates favorably with a large number of vintage decor items — this is a special aesthetic. Immersive, relaxing, pleasing to the eye.
The warm nature of texture and color in contrast to the cold urban stone, metal and plastic, the opportunity to switch to something living, breathing.
We have to talk about the living here over and over again.

Without forgetting about the classic details of the Italian style.
So, in the interior there is an integral part of the design culture of this country — sculpture.
A marble horse, canonically carved from marble, for example, A marble horse, canonically carved from marble, for example, decorates one of the tables. In another corner, the station turns into a pedestal for a bust, but no longer quite canonical.
Instead of the expected Julius Caesar, Homer Simpson in a Gucci polo is watching the guests, receiving exceptionally wide smiles in response.

The combination of vintage gold cutlery and the bulging eyes of plaster Homer, the greenery of plants and the gloss of funny posters, the smell of book pages and berry graffiti on top of books — all this disposes the restaurant visitor, makes him straighten his shoulders, soften his voice and give himself up to simple joys.
To delicious food, interesting conversation, flirting and good music.

In funny, stylish and daring photos on the walls of the terracotta hall. Each picture in a rich frame, like a small story, takes you back to childhood memories, arouses a feeling of love nostalgia, and sometimes calls you just to smile. Like, for example, a photo of the legendary Audrey Hepburn, or rather her character Anna from "Roman Holidays" in the bathroom, complemented by the inscription on the wall — va bene? (ital. "is everything okay?"). Or a family portrait in which each character has a piece of pizza instead of a head. After all, what else can you think about when you’re waiting for an order in an Italian restaurant with an open kitchen, right?

That’s what people will come to this restaurant for. And for it, I have gathered in one space the traditional and modern manifestations of the magnificent and unique Italy. Perfecto!
