The first acquaintance with the interior of the club "No one writes to the colonel" (Riga, Peldu, 26/28) took place in the evening, in an informal setting. The room appeared before us in the image of a living organism, which spreads powerful energy. A large role in creating such a sensation was played by a variety of lights, including blue neon, capable of reincarnating any interior. Metal structures of the bar and plates supporting thick walls, pipes stretched under the ceiling, a bent bridge leading from one hall to another - all this gives a certain rigidity and strength to the interior, which every day receives a huge number of young people. But we remind you that the club will only appear this way in the evening, with a certain lighting and a large crowd of people. A completely different image occurs during the day. The light does not focus our attention on the harsh metal, but gently glides over the wooden surfaces of the tables, chairs, old buffet. The interior seems to be asleep, but very warm and close thanks to objects familiar from childhood, even though they are associated with the times criticized today. The old-aged metal sink with a faucet located next to the entrance to the bathroom looks the most colorful here. Club space can change depending on the lighting, time of day, our mood and even music, and this, we think, is the most important feature of a successful interior.
