A piece of furniture or a fantasy of flowers? Both: this year, screens appeared in the interiors in a completely new way. Woven from flowers and leaves, knitted from grandmother's balls and colored threads, they are very similar to their predecessors and at the same time not at all. The mixture of floristic and decorative techniques gave a completely unexpected result. The functions of the new screens remained the same, but there were twice as many materials and plots. The development of storylines went in two ways. The first, more familiar, is associated with everything that has been done in this area over the past few centuries. Chinese and Japanese motifs, refined modern, contrasting Suprematism and all other traditional manners and styles flourish in the new "edition" in the literal and figurative sense of the word. Strict circles in the spirit of Kazimir Malevich turn into harmless balls of petals and buds, hard oriental ornament into a dynamic pattern of branches, and traditional Japanese landscapes into the idea of ​​spring presented through bulbs, flowers and leaves.The second option is actually the most important discovery. Screen-doors, overgrown with lush foliage, as in the tale of the Sleeping Beauty, screens - seasons and cobwebs - could this have been imagined before? Now you can. See for yourself.Chinese fan - a Chinese woman's wardrobe item or a drawing of a Chinese screen? Not so important. The main thing is complex weaves and the most exquisite combination of colors in the world: gray and beige with provocative red.Spring in Japan Poetic sophistication, harmonious color combinations are traditional features of Japanese art, but Sei Senagon would certainly give half of her diary for the opportunity to see this Japanese spring of pink bulbs, dark brown sticks and delicate green leek!Russian modern It is of interest not only among decorators, but also among florists. Plastic birch branches organically fall into the characteristic curved contour, which is filled with carved leaves and heads of flowers.Gossamer A light and almost transparent screen-web will be appropriate in the old family castle and on the roof of the penthouse. In the latter case, it can be perceived as a frame for a living picture.The youth of the world Bright spring colors, clear lines, simple forms ... Suprematism in the floristic interpretation resembles the paintings of Malevich seen by the eyes of children.Editorial staff thanks Ararat Park Hyatt hotel for help in organizing the shooting
