An absolutely new approach to the family shopping culture! Now at the supermarket, you can not only stock up on everything you need but also have an interesting time.
Everything that surrounds you in Vinnytsia SILPO is an excellent occasion for discussing the beautiful, eternal and cosmic!

In this shopping area, almost 2 kilometers long, the famous Ukrainian designers Aleksandr and Vladimir Yudin have improvised a real space odyssey in the loft and pop art styles!

The dark blue vault, dotted with open ventilation systems, resembles space. Thrown over it are massive yellow metal structures, reminiscent of the passages and compartments of the spaceships that Ellen Ripley used for hunting aliens. This massive structure, also necessary because support of the decorative orbit placed one level below and the decorations in the form of planets, has itself become an interesting and cult decoration!

A telescope is facing the supermarket from the sphere, used as an observatory that studies the goods presented in the mall. These impressive large-scale decorations, presented in the technical lighting professionally selected by the Brothers Yudin, theatrically illuminate all decorative objects and counters in the shopping area, looking also like bright stars.

Moving further down from the vault, the designers conceived smaller decorations with astronauts and Martians. This whole epic composition, which unfolds over the heads of the buyers, continues in dark blue friezes decorated with drawings in the style of Warhol's pop art, as the wonder woman with bouquets of planets drawn under the impression from listening to Pink Floyd albums.

The stalls in the fruit and vegetable area of the supermarket are also decorated with more classic planetary representations - a subtle touch that integrates the traditional bakery motifs with the rest of the store, as well as the massive columns imitating textured stone or steel.

Colorful friezes rest on the classic-style pillared counters, this time representing a completely insane picture of space in the pop art style, somewhat reminiscent of the artistic images of the American 70’s: flowers and fruits cut into segments presented in the form of planetoids; constellations and high ocean waves etc..

Thanks to the work of the founders of the studio YUDIN Design, the SILPO supermarket in Vinnytsia is not only an eclecticism of styles, but also refined ideas about space and the eternal striving of man for the stars.

One of the most attractive departments is the bakery with its own cafe. On the ceiling, there are stained-glass windows with drawings on the theme of the sun. The counter is decorated with unusual tiles with ornaments in the Mesopotamian style. The tiles themselves look more like sand stones used to build palaces and pyramids of the ancient world.

The Brothers Yudin, Aleksandr and Vladimir, designed the bakery-cafe as a tribute to Copernicus, realizing it in the classic style with a reference to the Renaissance.
