Krujok咖啡馆位于俄罗斯沃罗涅日市的中心，圆润的室内装饰宛如甜美的俄罗斯甜甜圈，旨在将客人带入一个沉浸式的想象空间。项目由建筑师Eduard Eremchuk与设计师Katy Pititskaya合作完成，设计灵感来自于甜甜圈轻盈的形状、融化的光泽以及甜点的灵魂 —— 奶油。最终，本项目以一种超越真实的空间形态，对甜甜圈的意向进行了完美的诠释与升华。

Located at the heart of the Russian city Voronezh, cafe Krujok (a round form of a donut in Russian) has been designed to take the guests into an imaginary space. When creating a concept, architect Eduard Eremchuk and designer Katy Pititskaya were inspired by airy shapes of the donuts, melting glaze, and cream – the essence of a donut, and take it to another level – a form of hyperreal pastry.

设计的重点在于营造空间氛围，让每位客人都能沉浸在糕点的世界中尽情幻想。踏入咖啡馆的一瞬间就如同进入一个全新的现实世界。甜品的元素无处不在，整个店铺宛如用柔软的面团捏制而成。Krujok咖啡馆由一个专业的团队所有，除了经理外还包括糕点师与咖啡师。他们对咖啡与早餐的热情，完全体现在这梦幻空间与精致的美食商品中。

The goal was to create an ambiance so each guest could dream his own dream in the world of pastry. Once you are inside, a new reality absorbs you. The pastry is everywhere, it looks and even feels like the cafe is made of dough. The place is owned by a team of professionals – pastry chef, barista, and a general manager. They bonded over their love for coffee and breakfasts.

咖啡厅主要分为两部分。客人由前厅开始自己的梦幻旅程，大厅里圆润且带有光泽的定制家具与米白色的墙壁让人联想起制作糕点的面团，使人产生置身于甜甜圈世界的错觉。墙壁上五颜六色的爆米花雕塑由俄罗斯艺术家埃琳娜•米纳耶夫(Elena Minaev)创作。这种装饰的设计并非偶然，而是因为焦糖爆米花是糕点师装饰甜甜圈的重要装饰原料之一。

All space is divided into 2 halls. The first one, where you start your journey as if you are inside of a donut – as though crumpled glossy furniture, beige and sand-coloured walls and furniture refer to different forms of dough. Glossy colorful popcorn sculptures on the walls created by Russian artist Elena Minaev, are there not by accident. Pastry cook decorates donuts with caramelized popcorn – this is an important element of the dessert.

在后厅中，设计师以空间的方式对甜甜圈融化的光泽进行重新诠释。充满神秘感的紫色色调与柔软的天鹅绒面料相结合构成富有质感的墙壁与装饰品。宽敞的空间可容纳多人聚会，除了一张定制的异型咖啡桌外，还有一盏独特的、好似面团捏制的吊灯成为空间中引人注目的焦点，这些小细节与前厅形成完美的呼应。咖啡桌旁设有一处阶梯式座位区，座位区上设有六张小型咖啡桌，可供单人或双人使用。

In the next space, Katy and Eduard reinterpreted a melting glaze. They played with tactility by mixing mystic purple shades with soft velvet fabric, on the walls and accessories. In this space, there is an area for a large company – a “crumpled” table and a chandelier as if molded from the dough. These details became an accent point, echoing with the entering space. Next to it is a podium with several seats for one or two people.

洗手间内采用了单色的饰面处理，从地板到天花板完全被纯净的米色覆盖，就如同油酥面团里面的奶油甜馅融化在四周的空间中。这种奇幻的效果是通过采用米黄色的建筑泡沫以及顶部的透明环氧树脂达到的。总体来看，咖啡厅的奶油色调、亮紫色的灯箱、形状各异的家具与周围的灰色混凝土形成鲜明的对比。“我们想要创造一个不寻常的，有点疯狂的，“不真实”的地方，但同时又能让客人们产生共鸣。如今，Krujok咖啡馆已经成为广受好评的网红打卡地。”项目的设计者Eduard与Katy说道。

When you get to the restroom, it feels like the creamy-sweet filling of the pastry is melting around you – because of the finishing and monochromatic beige, from the floor to the ceiling. The team achieved this effect by using a construction foam that was painted in beige and covered with a transparent epoxy resin on top.The overall combination of cream shades in the cafe, bright purple lightboxes, together with the crumpled strange shapes brings out a distinctive contrast with the grey concrete surroundings. «We wanted to create an unusual, slightly crazy, and “unreal” place, but at the same time, understandable to the guests. As a result, Kruzhok has become a prominent and desired place to be – a key spot on the map» – Eduard and Katy.
