In Russia, Italian architects and furniture makers have always been valued. And sometimes it is not clear whether this Italian classic has become Russian, or vice versa. The office of the Italian company Archiproject in Moscow is a clear confirmation of this.

In this case, the expression "shoemaker without shoes" is not appropriate. When entering the office, it immediately becomes clear that classic furniture is being made here and can completely design the design of a house or apartment. The classic study of architect Savino McCanti, in which he works, is fully decorated with cherry wood. Columns with capitals, carved gilded and silvered cornices, baroque console - all of these architectural elements and decor are made according to Savino McCanti sketches. In the reception area of ​​the office, one of the walls is decorated with carved doors that make the Italian masters of the company ARCHIPROJECT. There is also a classic coffee table with a black marble table top, decorated with a silver pattern. In general, all the furniture here is richly decorated. According to Savino McCanti, this method of blackening gold and silver was used in the XVII century. And they cherish this tradition.
