The Design

About Hachico Bar

Hachico is a bar interior located in Moscow, Russia. The design is inspired by the izakaya bars of Tokyo, found near the Hachiko Monument at Shibuya Station. Within 65 square meters, the space offers 35 seats and an open kitchen with a robata grill at its center. One wall is covered with ceramic roof tiles, and the floor is finished with terracotta cement tiles. Plywood, natural stone, wood and cork are used for the surfaces, while the furniture is upholstered in velvet. Daylight fills the main hall, and the evening lighting creates a warm and quiet mood.

Unique Properties
Hachiko Inakaya Bar is a new and unic format for Moscow. The design of Japanese food service, especially outside of Japan, seems to be a very difficult task. We did our best to avoid typical decorating techniques in designing this bar. We deside to create an atmosphere of as you are seating between the roofs, thats why we use a lot of ceramic elements, exclusive ceramic tiles, warm terracota colours, unique wood and leather. The result was a moderately eclectic and sophisticated interior with subtle allusions to Japanese history. All ideas were implemented in a small area of 65 square m.

Production Technology
References to Japanese are traditional tiles, that cover the whole wall, natural stone and wood finishes. All focuses on the signature style of life of the Japanese in unity with nature. Atmosphere supported by color scheme, light brown, gray walls, black and light beige colors.Catchy tile panels are adjacent to the tiles on the floor, and the surfaces of tables with wood patterns are combined with a velvet upholstery of furniture. We competently planned lighting scenarios in the main hall. During the day the space is flooded with sunlight, and in the evening a cozy twilight is created.
Design Challenge
A lot of custom work with ceramic tiles, cement tiles and elements. Cork tables, bronse custom made full size Akita Iny dog. The senter of the bar is robata grill, not tipical for Moscow. All natural materials. Six metres wood slab bar top.The harders was that all the element were custom, exept of Garsnas chairs.

The low bar facade is made from custom made ceramic elements.The main material for floors, ceilings and doors is plywood.The open kitchen is from special made piece of wood. Tables are from natural cork. We used Garsnas Madonna chairs in the interior. In toilets clever Toto washbasins are installed. The bronze Hachiko dog is seating outside, welcoming the guests.
Inspiration
The main source of inspiration for designers was Japanese izakaya bars. These bars are located in Tokyo next to the Hachiko Monument at Shibuya Station. These are family of cozy bars with an open kitchen, fresh products and robata grill in the heart.
