The passion for motorbikes and travel on the road knows no boundaries and so, even in Kiev, the club house for bikers Crazy Hohols MFC has been a great success. Surrounded by a pine forest, the club hosts the Crazy BBQ, a restaurant entirely devoted to the art of grilling. Designed by Yaroslav Galant and Ilona, husband and wife in real life – close-knit partners in the business domain-the Crazy BBQ combines outdoor areas (including a playground, a swimming pool, spaces for concerts and receptions) to a large dining room furnished entirely with objects that are given a second life. All items come from a different place and a different time and every single detail has a story to tell. One example? The draught beer tower was made using a legendary Harley-Davidson engine!
The menu proposes mostly meat options, but also fish dishes and salads to suit all tastes.
WHERE: Prolisky, Kyivs’ka oblast, Kiev, Ucraina
The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
