Budapest’s new instagrammable bar: Buha|i|rest – PHOTOS
Roman Plyus, an interior designer based in Moscow, has his newest project, Buhairest, in the heart of Budapest, reported dezeen.com. The place is designed specifically to cater to new Instagram-friendly places to eat at.
A curved niche at the back of the venue is filled with a sculpture by American artist Kaws – entitled “Small Lie”, the piece depicts a Pinocchio-inspired figure bowing its head. At the base of the sculpture is a brass-framed plate on the floor, spelling out the word Instagram, outlining the space as a prime photo opportunity for visitors.

“It has always been important for people to capture their history, from the time of cave paintings – Instagram is like a small cave where each of us displays pictures of our lives,” says Roman Plyus

Undulating terracotta-coloured panels also provide a backdrop to a pair of round wicker seats. The space is furnished with vintage Pierre Jeanneret chairs, which Buhairest’s owner had leftover from a previous venue, and earth-toned ceramic pots filled with wild grass.
Plyus says the curved form of the furnishings – and the light fixture that dangles directly above – is meant to loosely nod to the work of American sculptor Alexander Calder, who is known for producing large-scale mobiles made up of geometric shapes.
The same furnishings appear in the more intimate lounge area that lies at the back of the bar, accessed via a short flight of stairs.
