To design a separate apartment for a young couple in a big family nest.
To settle here emptiness and comfort, nature and technologies, passion and zen.
The walls are in clay, the ceiling is in clay and wood, and one of the four walls is a window. Japanese wabi-sabi way of life is a peaceful joy to accept the full life circle. From birth to death, from the point of greatest glory to complete decline. Therefore, the main décor element here is a 6-meter window with a view of the landscape that no matter what will come into the world and die. Again, and again.
The main composite element here is an ample sofa and a dining table. The blue-steel-legged table is a wart slab, whose bruises are healed with a polymer resin. Above the table, there are designer ceramic storm lamps KHMARA by MAKHNO products, when the rain has not yet begun and has not passed.
Ashwood on the floor is warmed with the granny’s carpets — this family has preserved both spiritual traditions, and materials.
The ceramic vase designed by Serhii Makhno and Slavko Odarchenko was inspired by the work of the famous Japanese artist Shiro Tsujimura. Tinted oak on the wall — yes, this is where our hidden kitchen is. And the coffee tables are old willow stumps.
When you accept things as they are and do not try to improve them, there is more time left to just enjoy these things. Imperfection is not something to be endured. It is an integral part of life we must learn to accept and celebrate.
A soft bed in the arms of designer lamps by MAKHNO Products, behind which is the same tinted oak that hides the wardrobe. All that is enough.
