We were lucky to work on a unique object – premises of the former Arsenal plant which served
as manufactory since 1850’s. An arched space of irregular shape which is wider at the entrance – this was out initial data. We value architectural heritage; thus, we preserved this historical frame to the maximum by clearing the walls and retaining their authentic color.



The outline of the premises also defined its zoning. Along the arch we placed a contact bar, above it at the angle for better view, there is a centerpiece of the whole space – a 4-meter collage by Sasha Chichkan.



A gold mirror wall of semi-circle shape isolates a small patio of restroom from the main space and DJ zone. Everything that is going on around – movements on the dancefloor, swinging of the crystal pendants of the chandelier, colorful fluids in glasses, smiles – finds its reflection in the wall in the form of flares and reflexes, and thus, the space seems wider.



Stylistically we submerged in eclecticism: tetrads of colors, duets of roughness and smoothness, contrasts of matt and flares, the tricks of everything. On the painting above – a wild feast of monkeys. One of the monkeys is holding a chandelier, and colorful butterflies are off to the light of it. Here you can be whatever you want:
Vognyk – bar of weird people.
