The most important thing you’ve designed to date:
rhyme studio
We consider our studio the most important of all our projects, as far as the development of ourselves and our team is above all.
Our internal processes and enhancement of the team is the center of inspiration and the main source of creative energy, without which it is impossible to create the high-quality design filled with warmth and soul.
We are dedicated to staying rooted in the origins of each project—embracing the involvement of people, meetings, our office environment, colleagues, fresh ideas, and evolving directions. We recognize that the emotional aspect, if allowed to become routine, risks depriving our projects of an essential element.

A project you are working on now?
rhyme studio
We are currently working on several interesting projects all over the world: residential and commercial, so it is difficult to single out just one of them.
For now, we are fond of elaborating the design of the large apartments in the Moscow historical center, in reconstructed and old buildings, in as much the process of working on such an objects includes a special search, associated with unexpected difficulties, but on the flip side there is a specific connection between old and new, that gives spaces exceptional charm.
Moreover, we have embarked on developing a bespoke furniture collection, focusing on stainless steel as our primary material of interest. We believe that pieces crafted from this material are specifically designed for classical or historical spaces. The deliberate contrast between the stark form and texture of steel against the soft contours of inviting interiors creates a significant and powerful impact.

What constitutes great design?
rhyme studio
From our point of view, great design is beyond all questions. It is natural and easy, and it does not highlight the complex efforts of the designer. There should always be a feeling that it was elaborated in a walk, organically and almost of itself.
We believe that great design should be intuitively perceived as if the object or space has always been that way. We mean that it shouldn’t be something precise all along, sometimes it's something artistic and accidental (intentionally accidental). Hope we managed to get the point across.

What do you do when you’re not working?
rhyme team
No doubt about it - travel! In order to work effectively, you need to be fully-charged. Therefore, we aim to alternate between visits to old European cities and cultural hubs and take short weekend trips to natural settings or vacations by the ocean. We don't have a specific favorite destination because each place offers its own unique value, which we deeply appreciate.
