For a successful businesswoman, we created a vibrant, art-filled home for hosting. The narrative began with a whimsical dining set by Marcel Wanders. A dark crimson chest with an interior lining matching the chairs’ pattern anchors the space.
Iconic design pieces define the living area. A robust Mogg shelving system visually supports a structural column. The rounded Bonaldo sofa encourages conversation, complemented by a splendid Glas Italia coffee table—a motif recurring throughout.
In the kitchen, ash veneer cabinetry is accented with mustard-yellow handles (echoing the sofa) and a raspberry wall cabinet inspired by the Tuscan landscape on Arte fabric wallpaper. This cabinet functions as a discreet range hood. All appliances are integrated.
A Tiffany-hued Karman chandelier adds a focal point. The entryway continues the kitchen’s materials, featuring a full-height mirror and color-coordinated storage.
The guest bath, enlarged for storage, introduces holographic tiles (41zero42) and a defining ribbed glass door. The guest bedroom offers a subdued beige base with blue and red accents, a sofa bed, wardrobe, and desk.
Repositioning the door created a spacious private suite. The tranquil bedroom features a relief panel headboard and a textured Flou bed. It connects to a walk-in closet via a ribbed glass partition with two passages.
The closet combines open shelving and a unique light ash veneer wardrobe with varied front thicknesses and grain directions, creating dynamic movement. A Rimadesio armchair and full-length mirror complete the boutique-like dressing area.
A large glass panel connects the spaces and enabled an innovative solution: a TV mounted directly onto the glass without brackets—a first in Russia. A nearly invisible cable ensures a clean, flush fit.
The master bathroom, behind ribbed glass, features three green-blue porcelain stoneware textures. A holographic gradient on the shower screen amplifies the light. Fluid shapes guide the layout. Bold accents include pink faucets, colorful shelves, and a green Kartell mirror. A faceted table sits beside the floor-set bathtub.
