We present the third room of the Trend Rooms 2024 project - a Russian-style dining room.

Trends: appealing to the experience of ancestors and rethinking traditional images, references to cultural codes, handicrafts, combining the old (traditional techniques and ornaments) with the new (innovative technologies).

Authors: Elina Tuktamisheva @elina_tuktamisheva - room designer, Maria Shaidayuk - textile decorator.
"The room in Russian style is inspired by the beauty of the Russian soul. We do not open our souls to the first person we meet; what we have inside can be seen only by our relatives and people close in spirit," says designer Elina Tuktamisheva about the concept.

The authors of the room call to get away "from souvenir and superficial presentation of Russian style".
Russian style in this room is not about nationality, but about the connection of cultures of peoples. The style that keeps in itself the mystery of antiquity, its philosophy and outlook.
Old Russian crafts are at the heart of the idea and concept of the room.

Something has already been irretrievably lost, something remains as a memory for admiration, study and inspiration for new interpretations. The feeling of Russianness will be conveyed in the room on tactile images through indigenous materials - fur, pearls, lace, linen, wood.
