An interior inspired by the spirit of the 1920s- just like the client herself: elegant, freedom-loving, with a passion for travel, books, and bohemian aesthetics.“ I want to walk around the apartment in a silk robe and drink champagne,” she said— this very phrase became the key for the designers. We imagined the interior as a theatrical stage, where the hostess is the main character and each room is an episode of her life.
The apartment was originally an entirely empty space, but the decision was made to preserve the feeling of openness and create an enfilade effect, reminiscent of palace interiors. We wanted the apartment to feel like a jewelry box, filled with precious details- something you can admire endlessly, discovering new facets each time.
A non-standard layout was developed: although designed for a single person, it is filled with functional solutions- a full laundry room, a wardrobe hidden in the wall, a cozy balcony, a large bed, and numerous storage spaces.
A standout feature is the bedroom doors: when closed, they appear as a decorative silk panel handpainted with graceful herons.
