According to Mike Shilov, the interior starts from Wednesday - from the area in which the house is located. Based on this, he approached the work on the project. “As a designer, I like to create something relevant,” explains Mike. - Here, in the historical center of Moscow, in a quiet side street near the Zachatievsky monastery, in a low-rise mansion, an apartment cannot look the same as in a glass tower in the City. I didn’t want to sharpen the modern direction inherent in my handwriting, on the contrary - I tried to soften it. I tried to create in the interior a sense of calm, tradition and continuity of the times. Moreover, I understood: in a strict functional box my customers would be uncomfortable, because before that they lived in the classics. ” Thus, in a modern apartment many-tier geometric eaves in the spirit of Art Deco appeared, lamps in silver potali, wallpapers of old gold color, pebbled leather tables, remakes of legendary lamps Gae Aulenti and Gino Sarfatti, modern works of Patricia Urquiola, Rodolfo Dordoni, luxurious Fendi Casa sofas in leather and velvet ... All these and other elements referring to different styles and temporary layers create the right atmosphere at home in the historic district, helping to avoid “newness”.

A large b / w photo - self-portrait Z. Muholi meets the incoming. The smooth façade of the wardrobe MisuraEmme is decorated with ruby-colored glass, the same is demonstrated by the leather frame of the Fendi Casa mirror and one of the Vistosi lamps.

As Mike tells, he deliberately abandoned the “smart” wallpaper, fabrics with damask and ornamental floors, instead of them were selected plain colors with expressive texture (wallpaper Rubelli, Bisazza mosaic,. Rich but discreet, they do not clog the space - the apartment turned out to be spacious , even a bit deserted, although it has nothing to do with the “white cube.” There are few furniture, many empty walls. “I see this interior as a gallery, which can and should be supplemented with bright live strokes - works of art. The existing space is n a beautiful background for paintings and photographs, and their style can be very bold. They give a little sleepy, bourgeois interior an energy and emotion. "

Несмотря на то что заказчики придерживались традиционных взглядов, дизайнер чувствовал: они хотят вырваться из привычного круга представлений о том, каким может быть респектабельный дом. Майк создал для них сложный микс — баланс буржуазных, «гедонистических» вещей вроде обстановки в спальне от Fendi Casa и лаконичного дизайна Minotti, MisuraEmme, Molteni&C. В одном пространстве у него, например, уживаются зеркало в кожаной раме с тиснением под крокодила, светильник-тарелка размера ХXL в серебре и гардеробная в высокоглянцевом лаке.

По теме: MIX & MATCH

“I am a modernist, and it is easier for me to create interiors where modern furniture is combined with the same architecture and finishes. But I like to solve more complex tasks - to marry things that were not supposed to be used for living together. ” As Mike notes, at the end of this interior, customers began to look at things more modernly: their taste evolved.

The interior palette is built on gray, beige, brown nuances. On this background, ruby ​​red stands out. It is not much, and it is the same everywhere, although it is presented in different materials: in glass, varnish, leather, marble. It took a lot of effort to sustain the uniformity of color, even the factories were chosen on the basis of their palette. Mike recalls how long they waited for MisuraEmme to send a sample of colored glass for the dressing room fronts; only after the designer approved it, the object was put into production. And the company Maxalto, which did not have the required varnish, completed the console and the coffee table by special order for a small surcharge. As Mike himself admits: “It is important for me to see the absolute harmony of shades. Otherwise, the interior looks like a bunch of random things. ” Such thoroughness paid off: the project turned out to be solid.
