The apartment is designed in the image of the gallery of modern art, and the main focus in the living room was a large wardrobe with a copy of “the Dance” by Henri Matisse. The image is printed on canvas and then pasted on the facade of MDF. “We refused from the idea to paint on canvas because I wanted to get the original story of Matisse, and not a paraphrase,” recalls Nicholas. Behind the facade of the wardrobe hides a closet not only for clothing, but also a mini-Laundry with washing machine and tumble dryer.

Where: Moscow
The author of the project: designer Mariya mikena, artist Anastasiya Golikova
Large format interior that distracts from things that will inevitably fill the apartment. “I like this technique very much, all the fuss about small stuff fades into the background, like dissolves,” says the designer. And another thing it makes the room visually larger.
When working with a large format it is important to choose a story and song that the man was comfortable to be around, because he unwittingly becomes a participant of this work. Here the wall was decorated with painting on canvas, copying the Botticelli’s fresco “the Annunciation”, In the work of the Renaissance masters right linear perspective, creating balance and calm. And these same feelings are carried into the interior.

It’s not photopanel, and graffiti, which is spray paint performed each designer.
