Odessa complex "Tavria V" (square. Grecheskaya, 3/4) occupies the entire first floor of the gallery "Athena". The design concept of the free floow system (“free movement”), namely, according to this principle, a space of 1000 sq. M. m, involves a completely different-style rooms. In this case, we are talking about six halls of cafes, unlike one another. The main (and most conceptual) resembles a post-revolutionary noble nest. The names of the paintings (from private collections) hanging on the walls speak for themselves: "Friendship of Peoples", "Collective Farm Wedding", "Lenin in exile", "Milkmaid", "On the Maidan" and "Ripe Sweet Cherry". All this, coupled with Italian velor wallpaper, marble mosaic, artistic modeling, gold details and ... transparent chairs from Philip Stark creates, according to the authors of the project, the feeling of a noble nest ravaged by the Bolsheviks. It is clear that such eclecticism on the verge of a foul attracts visitors of different views and preferences.
