Luxurious restaurant EAST in the centre of Kiev

The designers chose large format floor tiles from the Clay series with a fine matt relief

… it is on the place, where once a Serbian fish restaurant Porto Maltese used to be, that was well-known for its top quality food and proffesional staff. It was even the best fish restaurant in the capital city! After the owner chose the panasian direction, not only he decided to change the cuisine, but also the furnishing. The interiors designed by the Kiev YOD Design Studio combine minimalism and a an unconventional use of materials, decorations and original methods of interior design.

The concept of a panasian restaurant originates from Eastern philosophsies, which connect various countries and cultures. Therefore, this restaurant reflects the main elements of East – stone, wood, water, fire and metal. Working with a limited amount of materials, the designers used contrast and tactual perception. The designers chose large format floor tiles from the Clay series with a fine matt relief, that resemble a trodden clay floor. From the production of the Czech brand RAKO, the designers chose a trodden clay floor resembling large format floor tile from the Clay series with a fine matt relief. Another RAKO floor tiles, this time the Random series, a perfect imitation of stone, came in useful for floors and walls of lavatories. Thank to the digital printing technology, you will barely recognize it is not a natural stone, but the material stands out for the advantages of ceramics, mainly for its very easy maintenance. YOD Design Studio was founded in Kiev in 2004. This studio works in modern style and specializes primarily in commercial objects in the field of hospitality industry: hotels, restaurants, cafés and bars.
