The second floor of Madonna is a space where dining becomes a theatrical experience. Nothing here is accidental: the rhythm of the arches, deep burgundy accents, and warm tones of wood and stone create an interior that reveals itself gradually rather than demanding attention at first glance.

At the heart of the space stands a sculptural fountain, reimagined as a contemporary art piece. It becomes the visual anchor of the restaurant, naturally bringing together conversations, celebrations, family dinners, and long evenings over a glass of wine.

The team at ISTO – architecture, interior design & supervision paid special attention to materiality and texture. Tactile plaster, terrazzo, natural fabrics, custom ceiling artwork, and carefully curated furniture create a layered interior that invites guests to discover new details with every visit. The interplay of light, reflections, and diverse seating arrangements—from intimate tables to a communal dining setting—gives the space a vibrant yet effortless atmosphere.

This is the essence of ISTO’s design philosophy: rather than dictating an emotion, the interior creates the perfect setting for every guest to experience their own story.

Great interiors are remembered not because of a single statement piece, but because of hundreds of carefully considered details.

Every corner of Madonna has its own character—from the expressive ceiling graphics and sculptural lighting to the rich textiles, curated artwork, and bold color accents. Together they create a layered experience that feels effortless, welcoming, and full of personality.

This is the approach we follow at ISTO – architecture, interior design & supervision: designing spaces that continue to reveal something new with every visit.

Every detail in this interior is designed to shape the atmosphere.

A warm palette, layered textures, carefully crafted lighting, and sculptural statement pieces come together to create a space that invites guests not only to see it, but to experience it. Exposed engineering elements become part of the aesthetic, soft drapery creates intimate zones, while the sculptural chandeliers serve as striking artistic focal points.

At ISTO – architecture, interior design & supervision, we believe that great design is never driven by trends—it begins with an idea. That is why every project is a search for bespoke solutions, where architecture, art, and functionality come together to tell one cohesive story.

A space designed to leave a lasting impression long after the first visit.

Madonna — a new Italian restaurant in the heart of Kyiv.

At ISTO – architecture, interior design & supervision, we believe that great design starts with an idea, not a style. That’s why every project we create is a unique story, carefully tailored to its place and purpose.

For Madonna, we designed an interior where custom ceiling graphics, flowing textile elements, sculptural lighting, and deep burgundy accents come together to create a distinctive atmosphere. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered—nothing is accidental.

We don’t create interiors that follow trends. We create spaces with a unique identity that could belong nowhere else. ✨

In this interior, the glass partition transcends its functional purpose to become a true work of art. Its deep burgundy hue, reminiscent of molten glass frozen in time, transforms throughout the day, reflecting light, architecture, and the surrounding furnishings. The sculptural, fluid surface feels almost alive, creating a constantly evolving interplay of reflections, depth, and light.

It is details like these that define the character of a space. Rather than relying on obvious solutions, the team at ISTO – architecture, interior design & supervision explores subtle design gestures that evoke emotion. Familiar materials are reimagined in unexpected ways, while functional elements are elevated into striking artistic focal points that shape the identity of the interior.
