Contemporary Constructivist Moscow Apartment

contemporary-constructivist-apartment-moscow-1.jpg
This bold Moscow apartment by Netherlands-based Kate Hume Design and Frans van der Heijden is inspired by the “constructivist” movement. It oozes saturated colors, sumptuous textiles, sculptural furniture and art adorning every spare surface. The apartment is a pied-a-terre owned by a film producer and his wife – an apt, airy and artful escape for a creative couple with an obvious affinity for the finer things in life. The apartment was inspired by Russian architect Melnikov, who designed according to the revolutionary constructivist movement circa 1920 – which saw art and architecture as a social statement. Engineering and modern technology came together, characterized by an abstract, cubist, three-dimensional vision.

The open concept layout enjoys subtleties which define its various living spaces, like the raised platform of the living area.

One thing’s for certain – these homeowners are not afraid of a little color, or a lot of it for that matter! Solid hues with understated textures appear in the bold blue rug, purple seating, green curtains and artwork. Each piece stands on its own – and adds to the overall eclectic aesthetic.

The dining area will lure you in with promises of friends and feasts, but you’ll stay for the sights. From the unusual lighting elements overhead, to the screaming (literally) artwork on the back wall, it’s indeed an amazing eyeful.

A curious collection is lined up along the rear wall. Art? Furniture? Perhaps a bit of both. A stop-dead-in-your-tracks red piece intrigues, transforming into a table by folding down the top.

The elegant, chevron-patterned wood floors continue from the living and dining areas into the kitchen. A stunning emerald green chandelier hangs above the rustic style kitchen table.

The shelving unit, though substantial in size, is light thanks to its open frame and low cabinets.
