Orthodox
The bar’s concept is tightly intertwined with its architectural context: vaulted ceilings—a signature feature of Silver Age interiors
The legendary Orthodox bar has found a new home in a 130-year-old building that dates back to the Silver Age era, reinforcing its distinctly Russian concept.
The name Orthodox reflects a person who steadfastly adheres to their values, beliefs, and worldview—never deviating from them.
Relocating the bar to a new space came with a set of challenges: beyond the technical and logistical aspects, we needed to rethink the existing design language. After all, the bar has been around for eight years.
We immersed ourselves in the Silver Age, researching the patterns and aesthetics of the time to adapt the experience to the new interior. We used period-appropriate materials: charred wood, clinker brick, ceramic tiles, chenille, cast iron, and plenty of brass. Beloved seating elements from the previous location were carefully adapted, and the visual identity was rebranded.
A barely-visible forest fresco on the walls evokes the roots and origins that shape the bar’s philosophy.
