A Russian Apartment with Contemporary Touch

A Posh Creation by Ekaterina Lashmanova

Boca Do Lobo Design Inspiration Behind-the-Scenes

Posh, Sharp, Glamourous – this is how we could describe the stylish and fresh interior design creation by Ekaterina Lashmanova, a residential apartment for young family.

The refined work of Ekaterina Lashmanova, through an attentive dedication to details, reaches its apogee within this contemporary project, flowing into an inspiring bold apartment in the imposing city of Moscow, Russia.

Ekaterina had the free pass to open the doors of the place and spend some time bringing to life the most tasteful trends. She designed more than a house – she created an inspiring and iconic place to live in. From the high-ceiling to the details of the curtains, everything is custom made, conceived by artisans – a constant search of singularity and perfection.

Behind the inspiration of the talented Russian interior designer is a profound admiration for the Portuguese Design – and Boca do Lobo has a main role, leading as pioneer of a product design made to brake boundaries through the aesthetic and bring handcrafted artistic pieces into people’s day-to-day life.

Living Room

The living room shape has grand ceilings and large windows which the designers used to their advantage. The classical accents with fresh color palette are highlighted by the Wave center table due to its gold hammered finish and contemporary lines. Taking center stage, the creation by Boca do Lobo brings sophistication and an unexpected contemporary vibe to the room.

Blue hues and sensuous creams pair perfectly with the graphic flooring and the subtle gold accents in the lighting that extends throughout the apartment.

Wave Centre Table

True classics never fail to make an impression and this is certainly the case for the Wave Table from Boca do Lobo. Nowadays, the traditional coffee table is no longer the only way to decorate the living room; recently coffee tables are taking original shapes and designs that give the living room a whole unique look through unusual forms and new materials. Wave is an original and a stylish coffee table for a modern living room as it is also an unconventional center table for your sitting room. With great style and elegance it creates an exclusive ambiance to the modern interiors. Developed by a Portuguese jewelry artisan, this piece is made of hand hammered gold brass with a black mirror top.

Dining Room

Bedroom

The bedroom’s pale touches and rich nishes screams comfort and elegance to one of the most important rooms of the apartment. A glamorous bathroom portrays a funky style with its bold pink panels and the art nouveau gold mirror.

Black pronunciations like the big indoor frames gives a posh touch to keep the majestic apartment as modern as rich.

Interview with Ekaterina Lashmanova

In the new project of Ekaterina Lashmanova we can see all current trends of interior design. The interiors of Ekaterina Lashmanova are thought through to the smallest details, whether they are door handles or sofa cushions. In all the rooms, from a large living room to a small dressing room, exist a special harmony: only the mood can change from room to room, but the overall atmosphere is always the same.

The new design of the designer - apartments for a young family - is made on the same principles. "Customers are different," says Ekaterina. - But the owner of this apartment is ideal! I remember how i come for meeting to discuss the future concept of the interior.

We were talking about design, about trends, and in one moment she asked me what I like. I opened my laptop and started showing my moodboards and what inspires me. "That's exactly what I want," immediately said the owner. - Let's do it! "If with the decorative design of the interior everything just turned out, then over the redevelopment had to break head.

"Being an architect by education, I pay a lot of attention to space planning. In an ill-conceived layout it's uncomfortable to live, and in this case the decor will not save it" - Ekaterina admits. - This apartment had its indisputable advantages: high ceilings and a large number of windows from floor to ceiling.

However, the apartment plan was a quarter of a circle. To create rooms of the right forms, they had to be levelled by walls, cabinets, radius cornices and curtains. "In addition to the living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two dressing rooms and a dining room, combined with a kitchen, the apartments were allocated a place for a small study.

"During the photo shooting of the interior, I went into this small room to rest, sat on the couch and suddenly felt for myself how comfortable it was," reminds the designer. - On the one hand, everything here is very chambery: a sofa, shelves and a coffee table.

But at the same time you are sitting opposite a huge window from floor to ceiling on the tenth floor, and you have a beautiful view of Moscow. An indescribable feeling of relaxation. As in most projects of Ekaterina Lashmanova, many objects and all carpentry work in this interior are made to order in private workshops.

"We have our own high-class cabinetmakers and textile specialists, with whom we have been cooperating for many years and whose quality of work we trust very much " says Ekaterina. But most of the furniture and lights came here from the US and Portugal.

"I'm impressed by the Portuguese designers," Ekaterina admits. - Everything they do is very fashionable and relevant. What this interior needs! "

BOCA DO LOBO furniture is an exclusive emotional experience, a sense of belonging and a state of mind. We strive to encourage sensational experiences by creating beautiful pieces which are passionately inspired and handcrafted in Portugal by a staff that loves what they do; experiences which pass on the feeling of exclusivity. BOCA DO LOBO's designers possess an undeniable talent for composing pieces which stir emotion in their admirers. BOCA DO LOBO's artisan’s wisdom, accumulated from years of experience, is instilled with love and dedication in the art that they perform. No detail or element is overlooked as we offer the best at the frontier between design and art.
