The owner initial briefing was to recreate as much as possible the splendor and style of his homeland (Russia). Repeating traditional style of the “Tsarist Russia” with appropriate scale into a small size apartment would have been a banal and rhetoric effect, so, after discussions, it was decided with the customer to abandon the traditional decorative manner, but focus on an evocative approach, where the grandeur would transpire by the intelligent use of rare materials, by the custom made realizations and by the use of modern technologies. Marble, leather, OLED panels, specially designed furniture, steel mirrors, silks and velvets, create a set of references to the owner’s homeland , while realizing a sophisticated and unique atmosphere.
