Where to get Russian furniture that will lastlong and exclusive? How to find a real master? In our article, you will get answers to these questions and get acquainted with the best furniture studios and their founders. Selecting the best, in our opinion, designers and furniture manufacturers, we did not accidentally give preference to Russian manufacturers: they provide high-quality products in all respects. This can be either a mass-produced sample or a one-off. Unique things created by the hands of Russian enthusiasts are highly valued in other countries, they are willingly bought and ordered by foreign connoisseurs of exclusive and high-quality furniture, who have the opportunity to compare the products of the best European furniture studios and our masters. And often the decision is made in favor of the latter. The main thing in any interior is the choice of style and furniture, and the former does not always determine the latter. It happens that an unusual sofa you like, which is a one-off handmade item, can radically change your plans for decorating a room. However, the working environment should also be as comfortable as possible, and therefore carefully arranged. After all, often non-standard, unique solutions come precisely in an atmosphere devoid of government tables and chairs, boring standard cabinets and shelves. And if you are ready to experiment, it remains to choose a furniture manufacturer, whose creations you will love sincerely and forever. In recent years, the fashion for exclusive furnishings of any premises has begun to spread "to the masses". Many studios and furniture ateliers offer a diverse line of products at affordable or high prices, but almost always these are exquisite things that anyone with good taste and bold imagination will want to own. Things made with soul simply must be appreciated! In order to make your choice easier, we offer an overview of large furniture ateliers producing massive sets and series of items, as well as small studios where 1-2-3 enthusiasts work, manually creating miracles for your interior in a single copy.

This is how things come into being that carry a piece of the soul of their creators, become part of family interiors, shape the appearance of apartments and houses where it is pleasant to live and receive guests.

FineObjects

Sergey Semenov did not suppress his desire, and as a result, the studio under his leadership entered the path of developing object design. After 2 years, he managed to implement a good idea: he created a center for object and interior design called "Artferma", in which young designers could form their expositions. The next project, which consisted of joint activities with Russian furniture factories, did not bring the expected result, so Sergey Semenov decided to create his own studio, where he could make a variety of objects from wood.

Many specialists offer an idea, a form of a piece of furniture, but cannot calculate its "behavior" - whether it will be stable, convenient to use.

Each item is made by hand, under the strict supervision of a professional technologist. Field&Rage was initially created as a relatively small production facility for the production of high-quality modern stylish furniture. Then there was a need for a retail segment where it would be possible to sell not only its own products, but also beautiful, popular things for connoisseurs of good interiors. Industrial designer and founder of the furniture company Field&Rage Pavel Shelyagin draws the attention of customers to the fact that varnish is not used in the manufacture of furniture. Instead, beeswax is used, which has no smell and helps to preserve the natural texture of the wood. Another advantage of this company's furniture is the use of an exclusively wooden base, there is no trace of chipboard here. Despite some increase in the cost of such a furniture manufacturing process, customers are not only not embarrassed by this, but also make them want to work more closely with experienced and intelligent craftsmen. It is not uncommon for the company to receive orders from designers and architects to develop individual, one-off items.

"Denis Milovanov's Workshop"
The name Denis Milovanov has already become iconicamong masters of making interior items. And those who have seen the furniture he has made at least once immediately become his devoted fans and customers. Denis Milovanov works in the premises of a former factory in Pavlovsky Posad. His specialty is wooden furniture in the style of primitivism and various things that seem to have come to us from the pages of children's fairy tales. He creates all the items from solid oak. The idea to make exactly such things appeared, it seems, by chance, when, while walking in the park, the master saw the trunks of old felled trees prepared for firewood by janitors. Milovanov could not pass by such wealth, he immediately agreed with the janitors on the assignment of rights to the valuable raw material and began to store it at his dacha. At first, the master tried to process the oak massif with simple tools, then he learned to cut off the excess and create amazing things that were immediately enthusiastically accepted by connoisseurs of such beauty. The secrets of oak handling were revealed to Denis gradually, and at some point he came to the idea of the need to boil the material in linseed oil and found the recipe for an ancient Russian technology. Now his workshop is located in two large rooms. In one, he works with his assistants, in the other there are vats of oil. All the massive-looking, but very beautiful furniture born in this workshop is happily purchased by people (including from abroad) who prefer solidity in the interiors of their homes, because these works of art will serve faithfully not only their current owners, but also their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Noticing that the oak furniture was in the processcracks appear during processing, Denis Milovanov made this a unique highlight of finished products. Oil, penetrating the structure of the wood and pushing out water from there, protects it from destruction and emphasizes the external beauty, reminiscent of eternity. The master has no shortage of material. And this despite the fact that he does not take freshly cut trees into work on principle. Foresters tell him about another fallen oak, after which the tree is sent to the workshop. A new life awaits it, which will last for centuries thanks to the skill of a unique person - Denis Milovanov. Denis Milovanov, furniture maker: "The defect of wood has become an artistic feature of the furniture made from it." denismilovanov.com
