Aprol Bar

Lizunov's spatial composition operates through a sophisticated symbolic vocabulary where the inverted classical figure functions as a threshold guardian marking passage from ordinary experience into a realm of elevated sensation and cultural contemplation, the muscular male form descending from above may evoke mythological traditions of divine descent, angelic visitation, or the Icarian moment of transformation between ascent and fall, rendered in pristine white that traditionally signifies purity, transcendence, and the ideal, this figure's inversion potentially suggests the overturning of hierarchies, the integration of earthly and celestial realms, or the philosophical proposition that beauty and meaning can emerge from unexpected orientations, the chromatic dialogue between warm amber and cool blue illumination creates symbolic territories within the space, with warmth suggesting intimacy, nourishment, and social connection while coolness introduces contemplation, mystery, and psychological depth, the crimson pampas grass arrangements rising like flames or ceremonial plumes may reference traditions of celebration, passion, and vital energy, while the obsidian-black vessels suggest containment, elegance, and the precious holding of sustenance, the exposed industrial infrastructure painted in energizing vermillion celebrates honest materiality while the oversized botanical elements in prussian blue create nature-culture synthesis, the overall symbolic program appears to propose hospitality as a form of transformative experience where guests encounter beauty, provocation, and sensory richness that transcends mere consumption.

The design was inspired by pop art and summer and aperol drink. It was an idea to create an atmosphere of all year summer in cold Moscow city. To support this idea orange colors and bright materials were used. The main focus was made on the swimming David - the new vision on Michelangelo masterpiece. The spacial space with chase lounges and solarium symbolized the beach area. The steam fireplaces installed on the bar impressed and surprised.
