The architectural bureau Kerimov Architects designed the interior of the 200 sq. m  apartment in the residential complex “Vorobiev House” (Moscow). The clients are  a young couple. The natural materials and light colors, used in the project, visually enlarge and  expand the initially large space.  

The spacious multi-functional area includes a living room, dining area, and  kitchen. The interior is organized by Minotti sofas, oriented to two sides: the linear  sofa faces the dining area, and the L-shaped one frames the lounge area in front of  the TV and fireplace. De Padova tables with slim round tops and linear bases look  graphically on the background of a light gray sofa and Jan Kath rug. The  Rimadesio TV cabinet and the Minotti sofa are co-scaled and height-equal, thanks  to this design approach, the living room looks visually light and compositionally  complete. The main accent in the living room is the wall made of an Italian natural  marble panel and perforated veneer screen which specially created for this project  by Kerimov Architects. The thin Paola Castelli floor lamp practically merges  with the vertical drapery of curtains, bringing atmospheric light to the lounge area  at night. 

The dining area is formed by a Bonaldo table with an original base and De Padova chairs with a low backrest tapered to the armrests – these items have common  features like laconic stable forms, thin lines, and common proportions. An airy and  undulating Ochre chandelier literally hovers above the table adding dynamism to  the static dining group.

The highlight of the interior is the multifunctional Boffi kitchen. Convenient  shelves, sections for storing kitchen utensils and accessories, and a compartment  for built-in appliances are hidden behind the monolithic metal facade. The splash  back is made of Black Cosmic marble. For ease of use, in the kitchen, there is a  built-in backlight. When the kitchen is not in use, the facades are tightly closed – this allows not violating the integrity of the interior and minimizing visual noise. 

The kitchen island also serves as a bar or a breakfast area. It surrounded by  Maxalto bar stools.
