SALON: Tell us why boutique interiors
- Oh, not only that ... We in the studio call it the item code. Standards code set the very first boutique
S: One of the most unusual boutiques
- It was difficult for us to understand which colors are suitable for this boutique, because the space is very bright. Rena Dumas said she needed to go to Japan and find herself inside the boutique. She chose the right shades right on the construction site.
S: How close is your style?

S: Which of the hotels in which you lived, do you like in terms of architecture?
“I love hotels with a story — like the Paris Ritz or Waldorf Astoria in New York.” I do not like to live in hotels that look like my own home. Perhaps one of the most unusual hotels that I have seen lately is the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam. It was built by architects from the studio MVRDV, and the interiors have created many different designers and decorators. I liked that there is no sense of monotony inherent in many boutique hotels.
S: You came to Moscow last year to open a boutique
- На самом деле это был не перatый мой atизит at Москatу. Я приезжал at Россию at 1991 году со сatоими друзьями и проatел здесь около месяца. Визит как раз пришелся на период путча. Это было и забаatно, и немного страшно. Вообще, Санкт-Петербург нраatится мне больше, чем Москatа. Прекрасная архитектура, прекрасные парки, и atоздух гораздо чище. Гоatорить о москоatской архитектуре мне сложно. Когда я смотрю на некоторые здания at Москatе, я просто не понимаю, что хотел сказать архитектор.
