Grybova Hata evokes mycelial growth through its mushroom-inspired design. It is designed by the team at YOD Group in the Ukrainian Carpathians. The 230 m² dining hall uses just two primary materials: this includes textured plaster and locally quarried travertine—complemented by recycled-plastic lighting fixtures with built-in handwashing and a hostess stand adorned with natural chaga mushrooms.
Custom curtains made from mushroom-based biotextile—woven from coconut and hemp fibers, inoculated with polypore spores—offer sculptural, one-of-a-kind installations that echo natural growth patterns. Seating is arranged around three themed islands—cheese, meat, and spirits—each reflecting the region’s culinary heritage. As Volodymyr Nepyyvoda notes, “This architecture organically grew within the existing restaurant space – just as a mushroom grows from its mycelium,” showcasing a design deeply rooted in locality, sustainability, and cultural storytelling
