Ippolito Fleitz Group was assigned the interior design of The Palace of International Forums ‘Uzbekistan’, to only come up with a remarkable interior design scheme which pleases even the most difficult eye.  The Palace of International Forums stands on Amir Timur Square in the very centre of Tashkent, it is considered the country’s most significant representative building; ‘Uzbekistan’ has been designed as a platform for hosting acts of state, congresses, conferences and other cultural highlights.  The task of IIppolito Fleitz Group was to design and furnish the interior in a contemporary manner, while integrating elements from traditional Uzbek architecture. 
The result?  A cosmopolitan, communicative interior clothed in exclusive materials, planar ornamentation, organic movement, crystals, precious metals and a mesmerizing interplay of artificial and natural light all become a source of inspiration!

The Palace of International Forums has maintained the classical external elements for its appearance, yet it hints to the visitor its modern interior through the extensively glazed façade.   In its modern interior ‘Uzbekistan’ consists of six main areas:  the foyer, the auditorium, the VIP foyer, the banqueting hall, the conference room and the restaurant area. 

The main foyer overlooks behind elucidated façade columns of Greek Thassos marble, while a correspondingly hefty epochal semicircular Swarovski chandelier hangs boldly in it.  The oversized chandelier creates a juxtaposition of architectural elements and introduces an amalgamation of Eastern and Western cultures.
