We have some passion - Soviet architecture. Often it’s an ideological inspiration for our work and a kind of soul terephy. Not just a Registry Office, but a real "Soviet temple," the architecture of which refers to the foreign church architecture of the mid-twentieth century. This structure really resembles Western temples, which became the core of the design. The idea was based on two palms, two hearts embracing a beautiful stained-glass window located in the center. The main struggle with the designers was for the lack of a horizontal beam. As a result, the beam was thrown away. The fasteners turned out very wide as the calculations were done manually. It could have been more elegant, but still the idea was realized. A very small building but the construction period was 4 years.

📡 .festival brought a massive 3-day lineup to an open-air at a giant space telescope located at Mount Aragats in Armenia.
Freak Fabrique had its stage-foodcourt-fountain space at Sensor festival.
We are so lucky to have the opportunity to build and restore a spectacular space integrated into a power facility of the Aragats Science Institute — an enormous piece of human technology meant to collect the energy of the Sun.

This restaurant is running since last year for public in the city of St. Petersburg. It is a very popular destination for the people living there.
We were tasked with interior redesign for a first obsolete restaurant . We had to convey concepts such as equality and emotions, but at the same time not pointing directly to the Georgian character of the institution.
We wanted to depict the modern worldly friendly image of Georgia, its bright character, its abundance of food and ease of communication.

For the past years we’ve been working on many projects in this beautiful country. But at this point we just feel endless shame, pain and iniquity.
Together with our friends and colleagues we’ve been creating, dreaming, laughing and sharing experiences. As a team we have accomplished so much, things we are proud of. Those people only gave us warmth, hospitality and love. We had the best time and we are so grateful for it. Forever and ever. .ua .festival .beast

It was in the USSR when New Year became the main holiday, cancelling the Orthodox Christmas. Nevertheless, even in Soviet times, there were richly decorated stores, shelves with toys and ornaments for the New Year tree and crazy mast minute gift shopping.  One of the most popular stores to buy fabulous New Year tree’s decorations was Detsky Mir - Children’s World - the central children's department store in Moscow, he was always decorated in a special way.

The secular attributes of Christmas street decorations - the lighted tree, ice slides, arches, concert stages - have been assigned by the Soviet state to New Year’s.

Witches are quite good at communicating with nature, subjugating its laws. The forest is a special form of being for them, and the sounds in it resemble sinister syncopations. Intoxicating light of the moon and the picture comes alive and we see five experimental lives. An important accent of the dramaturgy of the event, becomes the performance "disgusting food craving" by the artist .
