These days, cool new hangouts pop up across Moscow every week, but only few will withstand the fast-changing preferences of the young demographic they cater to. But in the case of Bowl Room, a recently opened café in the downtown district of Tverskaya, we have a hunch it’ll easily become a classic for an entire generation. The venue is founded by Mitya Vorontsov who previously was a partner at architecture practice Crosby Studios, and it’s undeniable his trained eye has contributed a great deal to the look and feel of the place. Vorontsov’s very first foray into hospitality sees a black and white palette, captured by tables with white marble tops, black stools – mind you, Bowl Room is an intimate affair, seating a maximum of 28 only – and alongside one side, an elongated bench that leads all the way to a marble-clad service station.
The setting is fittingly framed by pristine white walls and concrete flooring dipped in a pitch black hue. A large window allows in floods of daylight and adds to the light and airy atmosphere. Bowl Room owes its name to the fact that it serves five types of bowls filled with light, healthy and nutritious ingredients, such as vegetables, avocado and salmon, in addition to a few savoury dishes. Mainly accommodating breakfast and lunch cravings, the menu lists bowls filled with grilled chicken and and vegetables or avocado with poached eggs and quinoa, but also corn chowder with bacon and popcorn, and bites like an egg sandwich, a soup of the day and a dessert of the day. All bites are paired with various coffee concoctions using beans supplied by local roaster Coffee Owl Roasters, soft drinks and wines.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
