To create a solid interior, designers are increasingly turning to the Renaissance style, inventing the appropriate atmosphere.

The Renaissance in the history of art is called the long period - from the XIV to the XVI century. It is divided into several stages: the outset - the early, the climax - high, the outcome - the later Renaissance. Restored, respectively, antiquity. The architects redesigned the canons of ancient Greek and Roman architecture in a new way, artists and sculptors learned plasticity and color reproduction from ancient masters. It was during this period that secular art gained its independence, and private interiors were given particular importance, which gave impetus to the development of furniture.

Modern furniture makers, especially manufacturers working in the classical direction, are increasingly focusing on ancient techniques and craft techniques that have been practiced for centuries. Consequently, interest in the Renaissance culture also increased, when these techniques received a powerful development.

Modern furniture - in imitation of the original - is luxuriously decorated with intricate carvings, marquetry (composing mosaic of different wood species) and inlays of mother of pearl and ivory. The interior furnishings in the spirit of Renaissance, characterized primarily by solidity, will be complemented by accessories - embroidered textiles, decorative painted panels, bowls and vases of expensive types of stone and lamps with a massive gilded frame.
