Polyot Restaurant

Polyot

Polyot is a restaurant interior located in Moscow. The design recalls the setting of a science fiction film. Sleek steel shapes and portholes at the entrance make the space resemble the cabin of a space shuttle. Minimalism is a guiding principle, so patterns and ornaments are absent from the walls and from the design elements. Large shining objects are used instead. Two silver figures, each 3.6 meters tall, stand on symmetric columns at the entrance. All furniture and lighting were custom made for the project.

Dance Anatomy Ring and Earrings

Dance Anatomy

Dance Anatomy is a jewelry collection inspired by contemporary dance. The three objects, produced in two colors, reinterpret the human body through bionic lines and shapes. Fixed dance positions were studied, and muscle tension, relaxation and stretching were translated into a simplified graphic language. The forms are 3D printed in nylon, which makes the pieces flexible and resistant to damage. Two of the three objects can be worn as earrings or as pendants, because the silver earwire can be replaced with a lace or a chain.
