Anna Pavlova was born in Moscow in the family of artists (they paint everything: father, mother, sister, nieces). She studied at the Moscow Institute of Architecture and Architecture. In 1990 she graduated from the Stroganovka specialty "designer", and in 1995 headed the design studio at the company LIGNE ROSET. Since 1996, Anna - designer of the company "Domion". In 1999 organized its own interior design firm "Anima". Since 2000 - a member of the Moscow Union of Artists. Then the family moved to a new apartment. Anna has two children - a daughter and a son. In this family they like to gather for dinner, and all spend the weekend at the cottage The apartment of Anna Pavlova at the Patriarch's Ponds in a house that is 100 years old is romantic and conservative. Elegant sweet home ... "In general, - explains Anna, - I always try to act within the preferences of the customer. I help him to make a stylistically beautiful, competent selection - in this, and not in the rigid dictate of the architect or decorator, professionalism manifests. Making an apartment for I myself carried out this selection in the same way ... For some time now I have been following the path of “warming.” And if I was inspired by minimalism at the institute, and later by the irony of postmodernism, now it’s light, warm French classics. that one and latest interiors, bespoke me, combines classical techniques in the decoration of walls and ceilings with modern forms of furniture. " Anna Pavlova's apartment is full of healthy conservatism. It is impossible to assume that its author (as she claims) at some stage was characterized by some adventurism. According to Anna, this adventure was 7 years ago to buy an apartment in a house that required major repairs from and to, including work to strengthen the foundation. (The house has four floors, two apartments each, the owners mastered the overhaul together.) When this epic ended, the decorator had at his disposal a space with an uncomfortable supporting column in the middle: the partitions were removed by the previous owners of the house. Anna decided to turn this disadvantage into dignity. She "gathered" around her room, opening the space from the living room. The idea of ​​unification constructively manifested itself in the hall drawing close to the circle. The living room is rounded off from the hall, and around the living room are grouped private rooms and a kitchen. The general arrangement, the drawing of these functional zones, reads like an architectural metaphor of warmth, caring, family. It is clear that in an apartment with such a layout (and in a house with a long history), the ancient buffet and piano of the 18th century, the drawing of Anna’s mother, artist Larisa Fedotieva, paintings by famous artists and children's drawings decorated as real pieces of art — in beautiful frames. As well as old photos, chandeliers, brought from Paris, and furniture, custom-made according to the author's drawings of the decorator. All this is very "warm" things ... Now Anna Pavlova is preparing new interesting objects for delivery. Comfort, harmony, carefully selected, exquisite colors - signs of the already established style inherent in the Moscow decorator.
