To accustom the Kharkiv public to the aesthetics of restaurant “freedom” (that is, to eat food, without hiding what you eat and with whom), architects Oleg Drozdov and Vyacheslav Zhemyr have not the first time. Following the restaurant "Bukhara "(see SALON-interior N 1, 2004, p. 116) the Japanese Yask was opened in Kharkiv (Danilevsky St., 19). Transparency in everything - this is how the Yaske design resembling an ellipsoid can be characterized Industrial design and conditional boundaries between interior and exterior only emphasize the architectural contrast with the environment. Inside the restaurant, a twisted staircase is central, a “ladder” near which a green lawn is planted. Transparent chairs create an additional unreality: it seems from the street that people located in the room and sat down to dinner in weightlessness.
