Topka Shashlik Restaurant

Topka was a project where I had to choose a country and make an american restaurant using the countries culture.

To accomplish this I chose to make a Shashlik (Shish Kabob) Restaurant. I chose this because this is a large part of the russian culture and history.

The colors I chose the colors red and yellow has two reasons. The first is that in russia the number one colors used are red, and yellow. These colors also double as the colors that make people hungry in color psychology.

The textures and watermark like designs on these pieces help to show the texture that the grill would leave on the shashliks as well as establishing the rough and tumble energy that russia tends to have.
