Here, the interior acts as a deliberate frame for this profoundly impressive and mesmerizing landscape.
The selection of black as the dominant colour is intentional: it provides a graphic emphasis to the maritime view and imparts depth to the spatial volume. Within this monochromatic scheme, primary attention is afforded to texture and materiality: uneven black slate, engineered brushed board, smoked metal, dark graphite microcement, breathable natural linen, and warm leather—each element seemingly borrowed from the natural environment, echoing the local terrain.
To optimise the compact footprint, a portion of the furnishings was realised to custom designs and dimensions by the laboratory of Sergey Kartashov.
A layered composition of collectible design pieces from Belgian and Russian makers, alongside contemporary art by Kirill Chelushkin from Marina Gisich Gallery introduces a note of intrigue. A philosophy of conscious reduction in form and detail elevates each object to a subject for contemplation. Thus, the interior itself becomes a meditative pause, reviving one’s attention to the present.
"Beyond the window, autumn, winter, spring, summer flicker past.
And begin anew…
God reveals magic, with no thought of cessation…"
