"I did not change the space, I just applied some techniques thanks to which it seems to be higher. The fact is that the main elements here are vertical, including the lines of walls decorated with natural stone, as well as the built-in cabinets made of precious wood. The windows are laconically decorated with Blinds. Blinds are raised, an impressive view opens behind them. This is important. Art Deco is generally the style of large spaces, since it originated in America in the era of skyscrapers. The interior is such that it seems as if outside the Hudson window. (Y Art Deco is the Russian equivalent - the style of Stalin's skyscrapers.)

On the sides of the fireplace, I made hidden cabinets so that the hearth seemed to be recessed into the wall. The floor is dark, from wenge. For the walls used natural stone, which is traditional for this direction. In general, there can be any limestone here - from tuff to limestone. In general, I tried to create the impression of monumentality. I placed the built-in stove near the window. A famous architect, the founder of the German Bauhaus, Mies van der Rohe, somewhere invented a similar bedding in the late 20s - early 30s Twentieth century. (He showed it at the World's Fair in Barcelona.) Thanks to American cinema, this piece of furniture became popular. In films, such a couch always stands in the psychoanalyst's office, and the hero always tells something important on this couch ... A round carpet in a rather cold space creates a feeling of warmth, and besides, it visually unites a group of upholstered furniture. Behind the back of a large sofa is a console, I put it here to divide the open space of the living-dining room. The whole world in the apartment is local. So, the light of floor lamps snatches only a group of upholstered furniture, the rest of the space is plunged into twilight. There are hidden lights. (By the way, in the 30s, they began to use the hidden light for the first time.) Exotic figurines complement the picture. "
