A showroom has opened in the very center of Kutuzovsky Prospect (29) Ligne Roset - a joint project of a furniture company ROSET LINE and restaurateur Arkady Novikov. The idea to combine a boutique and a restaurant is well known to those who dined at the restaurants of the Emporio Armani Caffe` and had a cocktail at the bar on the second floor of the Milan Just Cavalli. However, for Moscow this idea is very fresh. Explaining his idea, the designer Didier Gomez he says that the minimalism of the colors (brown, black, white, gray) seems boring to him, so he added a bright orange that energizes like fresh orange juice. Since Moscow is a cold city, the architect wanted to bring a bit of exotic to the project. "Photos on the walls help us feel connected with nature," says the maestro, and adds: "In addition, against the background of flowers, beautiful women seem even more beautiful."
