The interior of a 71 m² apartment in Moscow for a financier’s family combines pop culture décor, top brands, and artwork. The active couple requested an isolated office, a comfortable kitchen with an island, and spaces for their collections and travel magnets, all of which were successfully fulfilled.

The kitchen-living room spans 36.6 square meters with three large windows and multiple functional zones. It features a custom island by Italian brand Cesar, enclosed in a porcelain stoneware frame that cleverly hides the hood grill. The countertops, backsplash, and window sills are finished with quartzite showcasing an active texture. The island includes a cooktop with a built-in hood, a wine cabinet, and deep drawers that activate backlighting when opened. To enhance functionality, discreet sockets are mounted on the island side. Illuminated glass shelves provide space for displaying travel memorabilia and contemporary art.

A neutral dining table complements bright blue Midj chairs, with a slim ring base matching the chair legs. Tom Dixon lamps hang over the table, while a Marvel poster is showcased in a special lightbox. A fold-out Milano Bedding sofa accommodates guests, opposite a metal-finished hanging cabinet. A surround-sound audio system is expertly built into the living area.

A small lounge area by the window features a MisuraEmme armchair and an Alexander Tischler wall-mounted bar. We minimized corridor use, creating a highly functional space between the hallway and kitchen-living room, housing a washer and dryer along with storage for cleaning tools.

The guest bathroom, located across from the utility closet, includes a large countertop with an integrated sink for laundry tasks. Stainless steel panels create a perfect display for travel magnets, while RGB lighting around the mirror adds ambiance.

A floor-to-ceiling mirror enhances the hallway, complemented by a hanging console and a large closet with decorative plaster facades and commissioned artwork. For the bedroom, we commissioned MisuraEmme to create voluminous wardrobes with tinted glass fronts and vertical lighting, along with eco-leather accessory drawers.
