LUMO Bistro

CONCEPT:

LUMO is a bold, uncompromising bistro in the heart of Dnipro.

Inspired by the Memphis Group and the wild aesthetic of the ’80s—just as striking to the senses as a good Negroni—the concept was born. Italian spirit, reimagined through Ukrainian confidence.

BAR EXPERIENCE:

This isn’t just a bar counter. It’s a compact, self-contained island bar ecosystem.

Compact. Powerful. No unnecessary noise.

The bar was designed with no back-of-house zone—we fit the maximum into the minimum space. Every centimeter of the workstations is optimized: refrigeration, freezer, coffee module—all built in. Two workstations. And even without a wine fridge (which was moved outside the bar), this setup can outperform many.

DNA of the bar:

  • Compactness
  • Style
  • Functionality
  • Versatility
