We can associate a person’s image with anything. We even connect people’s archetypes to scents. The scandalous, revolutionary Habanita perfume set the stage for women’s emancipation. Until the 1920s, the notes of this fragrance were associated exclusively with men, yet they enticed women to seek freedom.
Young, fearless, enchanting.
Would you like to understand the client’s character through the interior

Want to understand the character of the client through the interior? Imagine yourself in your youth: you’re in an old leather jacket, smoking a cigar in a closed room, and at a distance stands a vase with a rose. Instead of the leather jacket — the Wassily chair; instead of the cigar — a deep brown shade of wood; and the rose — fresh and vibrant shades of green and ginger. Can you picture it? We didn’t catch it right away — shame on us, but the trail of Habanita helped.

Even the food prep area is designed to keep distractions at bay, allowing her to stay in her "flow zone." This is a place where you can make a simple breakfast or toast, enjoy coffee brewed in a perfect coffee machine, use a smart Google Home speaker, or spend a cozy evening with friends, laughing and playing board games.

Fatality Brutality: how to create style and functionality within 42 square meters for an IT specialist who loves heavy music, an active lifestyle, and travel.
The apartment became the perfect canvas for designing an interior that meets all the client’s requests. Every detail matters here: from the color of the wardrobe to the dedicated space for her favorite longboards.

We started by getting to know the owner: she’s 33, lives with her boyfriend and their Bengal cat Mauna, and loves everything that brings creativity to life: playing the drums, reading books, and collecting vinyl. This is a space that reflects the personality of its owner: bold, creative, a little brutal, but always soulful. Everything here is thoughtfully arranged: there’s a space for waste sorting, easy access to kitchen utensils, and smart storage for coffee devices for her daily ritual.

The soft green color of the kitchen fronts contrasts with black accents, emphasizing the balance between modern minimalism and the warm texture of wood. Built-in appliances and a convenient two-burner cooktop perfectly align with the client’s requests. A blue dining table adds dynamism, supporting the unique style. Vintage Castelli chairs and well-thought-out closed cabinets provide functional storage. A wall mirror breathes life into the space, making it appear larger.

The balcony has now taken on a new life. First, it serves as an ergonomic workspace with multiple outlets and a comfortable windowsill overlooking the Dnipro River. Second, it’s a relaxation zone with electronic drums, offering the perfect spot to indulge in a passion for music.

"I love black the most, as well as jewelry in silver/nickel tones and leather goods. I am a metalhead, and I want the interior to reflect that somehow.
I like modern minimalism, but for me, it’s not enough — it needs to be ‘brought to life’ and ‘filled’ with mid-century elements.
For example, 80% modern minimalism and 20% mid-century design. However, these should be pieces that are far removed from the context of the USSR, although I understand that everyone has different associations."

Books, puzzles, a PlayStation, a record player, and vinyl – all of these are harmoniously arranged in the living room. We designed a convenient shelving unit for books and records, added a sleek sofa in neutral tones, and the coveted Cassina Mex glass table, which lightens the space. This is a place to spend time playing board games or hosting a movie night with friends. Or you can comfortably sit in the Wassily chair, sipping wine alone to the sounds of Bohren and der Club of Gore, gazing out the window.

The wardrobe became a stage. Here, the terracotta shade came to life – a color that resonates with the architecture of her residential complex, adding warmth and depth. A mirror, the star of this scene, expands the space, while curtains create the effect of a theatrical curtain, unveiling the client’s private world. Every item has its place, and the atmosphere hints at a subtle theatricality in everyday life.

The bed, hidden behind curtains, ensures privacy and peace even in a small apartment. Soft lighting helps unwind after a busy day. Everything is designed for comfort – even the cat has its own spot in this space. We carefully considered every centimeter to meet all the client’s wishes.

The bathroom in this apartment is a meticulously designed space that harmoniously combines style and comfort, even catering to the needs of the Bengal cat, Mauna. A cast concrete sink sets the tone for the space, adding a touch of restrained brutality and reflecting the client’s character. This is not just a room but a part of her world, where the style of Funtality Brutality continues to shine.

The utility cabinet conceals a washing machine with a drying function, a drying system, and even a dedicated nook for Mauna’s large litter box. Shelves above the installation system and spacious cabinets ensure order and provide storage for everything necessary, from household chemicals to small accessories.

This space strikes a perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. Everything is here to make daily life simpler while leaving room for self-care and personal rituals.
