In the heart of Kyiv’s historic center, within a wing of an early 20th-century residential building, lies the showroom of Ukrainian evening wear brand Balykina. Conceived as a refined escape from the everyday, the space offers each client a moment to feel like a star while preparing for life’s most memorable occasions.

The showroom design reflects our interpretation of timeless Old Hollywood elegance, reimagined through the lens of contemporary femininity and understated sophistication.​​​​​​​

The layout is inspired by the atmosphere of a private salon. In the entrance area, guests aregreeted by a console table, terracotta poufs, and brand lookbooks — evoking the ambiance of an elegant apartment lobby.

This leads into a “living room” space, complete with a comfortable seating area, custom rails for showcasing the collection, and fitting rooms tucked behind heavy, theatrical drapes. The experience culminates at the checkout and packaging zone — designed as a central wardrobe island with a glass countertop that doubles as a display case for the brand’s accessories.
