The interior design is built on brutal materials: textured plaster and ceramic slabs mimicking concrete, ferrous metal, however, thanks to a careful finishing technique, they acquire here a new quality – smoothness, gloss, feeling of high cost.
A collection of three-dimensional models of film characters, which the owner, a 3D designer by profession, collects, became an important factor in interior design. The collection, bright and varied in color, required to make the colors of the interior very muted. The color scheme of the interior is built on shades of gray from dark graphite to light concrete. Wooden surfaces arise as large fragments in private rooms. Cool gray tones of the frames demanded to focus on finding methods to compensate this coldness. The combinatorics within the same surface of different finishing materials: plastic walls, niches, as well as numerous elements and details – various metal shapes on the plaster surface, shelves of different sizes and designs became such a solution.

There is only one problem there when you make renovation of your own place: you are not limited and may do whatever you want. In the long view, it sounds great. But it’s important to be certain in what you want to see more: an audacious color layout, or something brutal, or an unusual architecture and materials combination, or everything listed… For a designer, an apartment is a ground for actualization of what most clients are not ready to see in their place. We like monochrome colors, concrete, nice and comfortable furniture, effects of light and nonstandard space arrangement. These are the ingredients for the ideal ‘design cocktail’, and here we come to a brutal interior with some ironic accents.
