Towards a new interior design with Supaform

If the world of modern design furniture is quickly moving forward, in terms of materials, shapes and the frequency and quality to which it is exposed, it is more difficult to notice the evolution that the interior architecture is undertaking at this very moment... Some architects have, in fact, recently given a new twist to this discipline by doing it like an object: to emphasize simplicity without giving up attention to detail. Take a look at the work of the Russian studio Supaform, and this incredible flat in Moscow...

A new architecture, a new style

A new interior architecture is emerging that will shift the boundary between object and space.

It is quite easy for a creative mind whose interest is in objects and furniture, to create an unusual piece, grandiose, which provides this powerful feeling of envy and contemplation of beauty. This is probably the scale of these pieces, which often only have a well-worked material, good proportions and shapes that cause the right emotion. Yes, it's a scale question.

If you put together a dozen or so beautiful pieces in the same space, it is not clear that harmony will be achieved, quite the contrary. This is why interior designers have become masters in the art of interior design, meaning the art of arranging the beautiful so that it fits together and ends up flattering each other. Because being the originator of a new interior design and what makes it unique is no mean feat.

Studio Supaform, based in St. Petersburg, Russia, has somehow re-imagined how to approach interior design. Its minimalist style, which is not afraid to use color massively, as a real architectural asset and has the wind in its sails, taking actively part in redefining interior architecture trends. In fact, the studio takes advantage of a space by cutting it by zones, and whether they are functional islets or circulation area, they use any color in a monochrome and uniform appearence to exist.

Thus, the studio skilfully divides the place it is in charge of transforming. Putting forward floor delimitations, or from one piece of furniture to another, or the separation of a space. This pragmatic way of working this new architecture as blocks, as if we were in the heart of virtual reality, reflects a certain attraction for the simplification of living spaces, but also the way in which we perhaps want them to evolve: rid of the superfluous, but certainly not of colour.

Supaform 's colorful association tastes are showing a keen interest in shades that remind us of the 80sand also the furniture of the time. We like to see that the geometric shapes assembled together create not only architecture, but also functional and sculptural furniture, halfway between this space of time and our own. But don't be fooled if you tend to think that primary colours are easy to master. The Russian studio has now mastered the use of coloured alloys to perfection, after having practised this style many times.

Finally, we could emphasise that in order to move towards a new interior design, everyone must get rid of their ideas and preconceived notions in order to be able to let the new in. Let's forget our conventional visions of the interior, and let them evolve towards other horizons, more technological and closer to the basic needs of humans, simple, joyful. If many fields are seeing a definite and frank evolution, it is more delicate in interior design to pass a new course. Fortunately, this is not difficult to achieve thanks to talented designers such as Supaform.
