GASTROdacha

The lounge, perennially adorned with a set table, resonates with the quiet crackling of the fireplace, the leisurely hum of conversation, and the wafting warmth from a cup of fragrant herbal tea. «...After all the room really was quivering, and that flickering, carrousel-like movement of shadows across the wall when the light is being carried away, or the shadowy camel on the ceiling with its monstrous humps heaving when Nurse wrestles with the bulky and unstable reed screen (whose expansion is inversely proportional to its degree of equilibrium) — these are all my very earliest memories, the ones closest to the original source.»

The library in GASTROdacha transforms into a space where not merely books are amassed, but cherished works, each page of which guides one on a journey to childhood reminiscences, crafting vibrant images. However, we reevaluate them, subjecting them to the minimalism filter (where a minimal set of techniques yields maximal results), and cultivate only a subtly discernible sensation — we refrain from overt quoting. We extensively engage with light and textures, metaphysics, and the tactile plane.

FOOD IS THE NEW FASHION becomes the motivating motif of the project, wherein farm products, luscious greens, and vibrant tomatoes are juxtaposed with the wares showcased in a stylish clothing boutique. Our aim is to elevate grocery shopping from a mundane task to a genuine celebration, where the selection and preparation of food become integral to an inspiring and creative process.

As Chekhov remarked, «There is no need to head to the dacha, for it is good in the city...»
