Interview Dobryakova Veronika and Maria Shubina magazine "Modern Interior"

Your authority in the profession.

• Maria: I like to read interviews and biographies of creative people, books about them – from Michelangelo to the modern Bonarotti Patricia Urquiola... This is very interesting, but the most beloved authority in the profession can not name, it is a collective image.
• Veronika: I would like to say about their teachers. For me at the time they were Natalia and Vadim Aksenov, with whom I was fortunate to work for many years. They are professionals who are taught to work honestly, given the intricacies of our business and instill good taste. It was my school, after which I was ready to start their own journey.

What for You is primary in the work - creativity or business?

• Maria: Do what you love, love what you do – that's our formula. We do not share their work on creativity and routine and perceive it holistically. True love takes its object as it is – with its advantages and disadvantages, joys and problems. The designer's work is not only creative flight of thought and selection of luxury beauty salons, this construction, and solution of engineering problems and tasks, planning of the budget and talk heart to heart with worried customers. Detached, impersonal business approach, the results on the mountain shaft of the average projects is not interesting to us.

How is born the idea of the future project?

• Maria: "All the world's a stage" – in my opinion, a controversial statement, but on the interior design we can say it fully. We feel almost Directors, designing the interior space. Of course, this car is for those processes that take place in this... This body, a body that is animated by people and events. And designers, depends on how it will happen, what mood, what atmosphere... How people will be perceived in the interior? As will be seen the interior with the characters? Very important questions! The color, design, decor, verbosity or conciseness, rhythms, patterns, texture, textures, emptiness or fullness, cultural allusions ... Dialogue not only with customers but also with contractors... Knowing what tools you have, you can be inspired by the skill, the skill of the painters, sculptors, carpenters, masters of metal... This collaboration is very interesting for us and also is the source for the emergence of ideas.
• Alternately acting as a Director and actor, shaping the events of the story based on the specifications of the customer, live in the role of a user of the interior, we come to an awareness of the main emotional tone that is characteristic of apartment, office or restaurant. He is the inner core or red thread interior. And then it comes time to find forms and means of expression that crystallized, vyneseno emotions. We rarely are looking for in other people's interiors, mostly nature, painting, architecture, ethnics, science, travel – anything that can be a source of emotions and the birth of indirect ideas.
• Important emotions and ability to feel subtle plus professional knowledge, a combination of sensual impulse and calm professionalism based on experience and academic knowledge.

How do you imagine the perfect interior?

• Maria: I don't know if the perfect interior? I would rephrase the question and be told about what I think is a successful interior. It is the environment, atmosphere, born from the soul plus the developed functional structure. The emotional and physical comfort. It's properly mastered budget and timeline – to have enough money and energy on decor. It's heartfelt and informed context – where, when, who, why.

The ideal customer – who is he?

• Maria: a man who knows what he wants, with good taste and sober look at their financial capabilities. I would like to work with customers with interesting aesthetic demands, ready to spiritualize your interior with works of art, antique or vintage objects, persistently seeking to get as a result of our work finished interior image, and more receptive to modern design trends, relying on our professionalism.
• Veronika: I think it is the person that manages to create a creative Union in which there is confidence and drive, someone we go to a fun journey into the future, because a successful interior ultimately it is a projection of the future.
