The only thing we learned about the customer was his serious fascination with the work of Andrei Remnev, which greatly influenced the interior. No restrictions and taboos were voiced.” Console, Malerba. Media console, Poltrona Frau.

The walls are given over to art — the author’s prints of the works of Andrei Remnev, which are decorated with plaster stucco. “It is important to emphasize that the printing is pigmented, it is made on canvas for prints,” the author of the project notes. — After printing, Andrey completes the details, if necessary, refines the surface, varnishes it and puts his signature. Prints are created if an artist is asked to reproduce works that have already been sold, because Andrey does not write repetitions!” Painting, Andrey Remnev.

The author of the project did not single it out and painted it in the color of the walls. Only an expressive apron and a countertop made of natural stone gives the kitchen away.
