ALLTRUEEAST | SIMPLI

AllTRUEEAST is a cafe that has been operating since 2016. It is located on Antonovycha Street near Lev Tolstoy Square in the historical part of Kyiv. Anna Andriienko, who owns the restaurant, is actively engaged in promoting environmental awareness, so environmental initiatives have also focused on the interior. 

Only justified changes were made to update the interior. 

12 seats were added in the bar area due to the reconstruction of the bar counter. In the same area, a new dark green communal table was installed. It is made of recycled plastic only.

The color of the table matches with green IKEA chairs made of recycled ocean-colored plastic.

On the wall nearby, glass was used as a mirror and was decorated with mounting foam. The upcycling project was implemented with Oleksandra Burbela and the House of Ukrainian Craftsmen Masterskaya. They also made vases using the remains of construction waste, such as drywall, for the decoration.

Another example of upcycling are pillows made of textile fabrics using transparent liquid glass for packing. There are also vases on the tables. These vases are made of plastic containers for household chemicals like detergents and disinfectants used in the restaurant. There are painted boxes on the bar counter. Earlier, these boxes were used to bring vegetables and fruits. Mycelium mushroom lamps are organic interior items, that are eco-friendly and easy to compost. The floor and bar counter are made of polymer materials.
