12 Architects Create Furniture

Dmitriy Cherepkov

This project presents the work of six architectural teams designing furniture for executives.

This concept has several key features in our view.

First, this is a kind of laboratory for researching new forms and solutions. We wanted to develop the most modern concepts, completely independent of existing restrictive furniture trends. That’s why we reached out to architects, the experts who understand how to create significantly larger objects, and gave them the freedom to choose their materials and technologies. Based on their wealth of interior office design experience and work with leading executives, the authors presented their visions for solutions that meet today’s market needs.

Moreover, as many attendees at our exhibitions have noted, this need really does exist and can be captured in the term: Personalized Offices.

Our project’s second key feature is that we show not only the resulting furniture pieces, but also the entire creative process from concept to implementation.

Each collection includes an executive desk, conference table, and credenza plus shelves or racks. We have already begun production of the office furniture collections featured in this booklet at the LEPOTA Design Furniture Factory, which is part of NAYADA Group of Companies. We would like to express our appreciation to all of the participants and partners in this project.

We would like to express our thanks to all participants and partners of the project.
