Nude. Coffee & Wine Bar Designed by FORM Bureau // Moscow, Russia.

Nude. Coffee & Wine Bar designed by FORM Bureau is a small family establishment located in a 1930s residential building in Moscow. The design was informed by the materiality of the existing space. Multiple layers of plaster and paint had been partially chipped away to reveal original brick walls. This beautiful existing texture inspired the use of pared back materials such as concrete and wood, with small brass accents and a bold black and white tile pattern.

The space is divided between an open kitchen and dining area, with a large bar top acting as an intermediary, at which visitors can eat and follow the cooking process. Storage space hidden in the centre of the kitchen is used as a menu display board that connects to the bar top by a construction of steel and safety glass, which allows natural light into the back of the kitchen. A large concrete table in the centre of the room ties the space together. The interior is completed with elements of Scandinavian prducts such as &Tradition, Rubn and Massproductions.
