BY NATALIE KNOTH 124 boutiquedesign.com MARCH 2014 NAMED AFTER "SWAN LAKE" and designed by the Gallery HBA London, the new Il Lago dei Cigni Italian restaurant in St. Petersburg, Russia, intertwines references to Tchaikovsky's ballet and Russian folklore. That includes the circular main dining room, which features a central column covered in selenite mineral rock crystal that's topped by a chandelier of shimmering crystal ribbons and geometric copper wire talismans. Together, the pieces allude to Russian fairytales and to maypole dancing, an ancient rite celebrating the solstice. "By juxtaposing passion and edginess with tranquility and heritage, we have created a unique dining experience," says Inge Moore, the Gallery HBA London's principal and creative director (and 2013 Gold Key Designer of the Year).
