RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The space inside is designed in the style of pop art. A lot of plants, neon, a mix of different colors and large art objects transfer us to the bright picture of Warhol. The summer theme is supported by its main attributes striped mattresses on the windowsills and a beach area with sunbeds behind the DJ. Inclusions of Asian design are present also in the menu.Such a rich interior required a wow effect. It was ensured with a floating statue of David under the ceiling. The famous sculpture was given the movement of a swimmer, but at the same time retained its recognizable plasticity.
CHALLENGE: The space is full of details, every element was hand made. A lot of sculpture elements. THe location was nice, but the bar is located on the fifth floor that is difficult for operation. The huge statue is clearly visible from the outside and attracts people. The main color of the bar is orange and the name is in association with famous drink. In russia Aperol is synonym of summer.
