Did you know that all you had to do was give upcanons, so that the space sparkles with new colors and facets? This is how new trends arise, from which completely unique styles are born. And today we will talk about what the Liberty style is and why it has become so popular. Only we know better than anyone how to build the Hermitage. But no one needs this - after all, Russians love spaces in which they want to live. And in order to create light, elegant, enchanting and, most importantly, comfortable interiors, you need to abandon all the rules and start dreaming. This is exactly what interior designer Marina Putilovskaya thinks, all of whose projects are a real flight of fantasy, and the invisible spirit of freedom is felt literally in every detail. Marina Putilovskaya, interior designer A famous Moscow designer and head of an architectural bureau engaged in the design of private and public interiors. She created objects that have become iconic, for example, the Palazzo Ducale, Tsarskaya Okhota, Temple of the Dragon, White Sun of the Desert, Ki-Ka-Ku restaurants. Her clients include famous cultural and political figures, and each project is a true masterpiece. Such famous companies as Mechini, Medea and many others produce furniture, lamps and accessories based on her sketches. putilovskaya.ruProject "Romanovo" in historyThe Liberty style has already firmly taken its place in world art. It appeared in Italy at the beginning of the last century along with Russian Art Nouveau and French Art Nouveau, when creative thought became cramped within the classical framework due to developing production and new technologies. It was thanks to them that artists, designers and architects were able to create truly unique objects and interiors that amazed contemporaries with absolutely atypical, but very attractive forms.A unique collection of fabrics based on sketches by Marina PutilovskayaTable element from the NEW LIBERTY collection,which was created based on the sketches of Marina Putilovskaya And now, right before our eyes, a new style is emerging, the name of which is New Liberty. This is a style of new antiquity, refined sophistication and a special vision of space, when the emphasis is placed exclusively on freedom of expression. Liberty can generally be called one of the most beautiful trends in the history of architecture and design for its gentle and smooth lines, special color combinations and closeness to nature. Marina Putilovskaya: - Animals and birds, intertwining branches and graceful ornaments, plant motifs and natural tones, stucco and a huge number of decorative elements - all this is so familiar to the Russian soul and loved by it. The Liberty style is the most complex of all the classics, and this is not just some special view. This is a whole ideology that we are trying to feel and understand.Project "Romanovo" Projects in stylesThe liberty designs of Marina Putilovskaya's design bureau are truly unique. They are comparable to the interior works of Victor Horta and Henry Van de Velde, the architecture of Antonio Gaudi and Fyodor Shekhtel, the ideas of Hector Guimard and August Endel, but they have their own characteristics. This is not classic in the literal sense, not modern or art deco, but something truly new, something that no one has seen before.Project "Romanovo" Liberty today— it is freedom, the opportunity to build what you want, without any restrictions. And new technologies, materials and approaches make it possible to change the structure and design, allowing you to move away from classical canons, thereby creating a completely new concept. What already exists is made even better, what was liked yesterday will become even more advanced tomorrow, and it is always worth moving only forward, using many years of experience. The main thing, says Marina Putilovskaya, is to dream more and never stop at what has been achieved.What is the elegance of the Liberty style?For example, in the Nikolina Gora project, the authors drew every detail from start to finish, came up with this amazing molding or floors that simply cannot be found anywhere else, as well as the most beautiful furniture and unique accessories. As a result, every detail, right down to the flowers, petals and lampshades, was made by Russian craftsmen based on Marina Putilovskaya's sketches. Stained glass windows were drawn for each door; wide portals and arches look solemn, and in the huge halls flowing into each other, you can almost hear the music of Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff, which is the right place for such interiors.Project “Nikolina Gora”Project “Nikolina Gora”One of the first independent projectsbecame a rather unusual object, called "Sivtsev Vrazhek" - in honor of the street of the same name. A large amount of glass, white on the walls, furniture and ceilings - a real "snow kingdom", where the entire space flows and curls, swirls and twists, and you absolutely do not understand where you are. Many later called this project the new "Russian Gaudi", because such a strong curvature of space, smooth lines, made not just in stucco, but in architectural forms, and the very construction of the apartment really resemble the ideas of the Spanish architect. And the most amazing thing is that every detail is reflected in the glass and varnished stretch ceilings. Marina Putilovskaya says that this is her first experience when she was asked to make an apartment the way she wanted, so she could boldly create.Project “Sivtsev Vrazhek”Project “Sivtsev Vrazhek”Project "Sivtsev Vrazhek" Another one ofmasterpieces — the Sokol apartment, which has become a wonderful example of the modern Liberty style with its panoramic windows and twisted staircase, marble panel and space literally flying apart in all directions. Here, the large windows, reflections in the mirrors, stucco molding, a chic staircase and a marble panel descending from it, as well as the very atmosphere of lightness and airiness, which represents that very freedom, immediately catch the eye. Marina Putilovskaya: — It is impossible to imagine how many people later wished for exactly the same apartment. Every woman said that this was her dream! The project was created for an absolutely amazing woman, she is as light and airy as the entire interior. And every morning, the owner, descending the weightless crystal staircase, steps on the floor, strewn with a pattern of flowers. Fantastic!Project “Falcon”Project “Falcon”The scale of the idea and the spirit of the Liberty style itself can beto feel not only in the completed projects of the Marina Putilovskaya design bureau, but also in her new collection, created in collaboration with the Medea company. The brand is known all over the world and even entered the top five Italian companies working with classics. Each Liberty style item was selected individually, carefully studied and restored with special love, so that in the end we would get a unique working collection, from which designers would draw inspiration for new ideas.Marina Putilovskaya and EzioMarina Putilovskaya and Augusto Tagliabue (ownerMedea factory) Marina Putilovskaya: - I was shocked when I first encountered the products of the Medea company more than 20 years ago thanks to Grigory Baltzer and the Ruslan store. It was impossible not to fall in love with it! And when the company asked my opinion last year about their Liberty style collection and asked me to look at it from a different, modern perspective, I took on the job with great pleasure. I recalled each of my projects, my furniture sketches over the past many years, since all of them, one way or another, were steps towards creating something truly new and unusual. From individual sketches and ideas, such an interesting concept emerged that it turned out to be worthy of an entire stand in Milan at the iSaloni 2017 exhibition!In the workshop of Medea.
