A discrete luxury interior space with cultural references to Moscow. The kitchen is located in the middle of the flat, providing privacy without feeling enclosed.
The project challenges what a wall is and what it looks like. It sees a wall as much more than a mere separation between spaces, but rather as a means of communication and the carrier of messages from the ones who occupy its interior.
The old map of Moscow, buildings and monuments of the city are carefully selected to tell a story very personal to the client, all designed, illustrated and narrated onto the walls. Crafted by Donato Coppola, the bespoke panelling translates the opulent Russian patterns and motifs in a simplified pattern. The panelling incorporates inserts of metal and nickel trims, reflecting light and blinging subtly as one moves past them. In the fireplace area, the panelling gradually opens up and reveals a landscape background of Moscow; a collage of buildings and monuments of personal significance and importance to the client.
The kitchen embraces the element of permeability. A wall made of 12,000 laser-cut modules gradually rotates and fades away, offering different views from the kitchen to the living room. The backlit onyx panel at the front serves as a display area for the client’s art collection and as the entrance to the kitchen, with two sliding doors of the same nature.
