Dynamic Design and Terracotta Elegance Bring Heritage to Life at Kyiv’s Il Riccio Restaurant

The Il Riccio restaurant in Kyiv, Ukraine, offers a dining experience as rich as its heritage. Located in a historic building on a leather goods workshop site, which remains part of the design, reminiscent of its history, the interior design blends the site’s past with modern sophistication.

The legacy of the leather goods workshop is thoughtfully woven into the design. Leather details such as chandeliers, armchairs, and decorative elements add elegance and luxury to the interior. They reflect the past of the workshop and create a unique style for the restaurant. These features lend the restaurant a distinctive style, making it a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate.
