By the number of luxury boutiques, Moscow will soon be competing with such trendsetters as London and Paris. More recently, in the suburbs of the capital, another place has appeared that will certainly excite the imagination of true connoisseurs of coziness and comfort. In the shopping center "Zhukofka Plaza" (Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway) a new boutique of home accessories has opened, where collections of the most respectable brands of Europe are represented. Fine CHRISTOFLE porcelain, SAINT-LOUIS royal crystal, PUIFORCAT cutlery, HERMES sets, VERSACE home collection - all these luxury items have long since become original symbols of prosperity and well-being, eloquently showing the status of the owner. According to experts, the set from the HERMES or CHRISTOFLE collection is not just dishes. This is a lifestyle. At first glance, the interior of the boutique seems simple, neutral. In the era of "total design", architects wanted to create the illusion that, in fact, there is no special design here. Everything arose as if by itself. And no variegation, no frills, no frills. “First of all, we wanted to surprise. We tried to be different from each other,” notes Yulia Tryaskina, one of the authors of the project. The interior of the boutique is designed in an unusual color scheme for such institutions. Instead of the already familiar white or light beige tones, there is dominated by a mysterious black color with a light silvery "gray". According to the architects, it is the dark background that should serve as a noble frame for a variety of stylish accessories. The almost complete absence of natural light also seems unexpected: the only window is hidden behind thick maroon curtains. By the way, the same curtains, stretched like sails, adorn the room around the perimeter. Creating an atmosphere of home comfort and a certain boudoir, they simultaneously mask the roof slopes. Interior lighting is built here almost according to theatrical laws. Bright directed light from the ceiling focuses our attention on the main "heroes" of this action - windows with collectible porcelain and crystal, shelves with all sorts of textiles, special exhibition tables, which adorn cutlery. Associations with the theater creates and the main decoration of the interior - a luxurious silver table from BOFFIhelpfully served for several people. Placed on a small catwalk with a snow-white fur carpet, he seems to be ready to receive guests who happened here ad hoc, and at the same time shows the goods "in action".
