Air Alps Our gallery in Megeve is an experiment, but very enjoyable. First, the farmhouse XIX century. - an amazing place, from here you can see Mont Blanc. Guests feel relaxed, then you can drink a glass of wine. Secondly, very close to Switzerland, St. Moritz, where many collectors of contemporary art. Geneva is about to become an important city for collection design: from January 2018, the PAD Geneve Fair will be held here.

For five generations For me, a good thing is a thing that captures the spirit of the times. Fashion is changing, the decor is changing, but objects, having survived five generations of owners, should not lose their relevance. I never work with decorators, only with artists such as Denis Milovanov. Decorators think scenography of the space, the artists all the energy is concentrated on the subject.
