For the second year in a row, the designer and decorator, a member of the Association of Designers and Architects, Igor Kurkin, at the invitation of BATIMAT RUSSIA, will take part in the design exposition. This time he will demonstrate the unusual library of a boutique hotel with the intriguing name Suum Cuique (To Each His Own), Stand 8-203.
“A craving for knowledge and curiosity is the only thing that unites a variety of people. And no matter how different we are, while reading a book everyone is immersed in their own unique atmosphere. Reading gets us to our own world – the world of fantasies and dreams, the world of knowledge and self-improvement.
In the modern world, attitudes toward reading have changed. Every second we absorb gigantic volumes of various information in every possible way, but still reading a paper book remains a sacred act, requiring solitude and personal space.
My library was created for two opposite types of people, namely, for a conditional extrovert and a conditional introvert.
The first has an open bright space with a chandelier and a chic fireplace. Space for narcissism and demonstration of oneself to the outside world: a white canvas with a single accent – the visitor to this space.
The second lives in a dark room – a modern cave with a cozy armchair and a directional source of soft light, intended only for one reader.
A mirror wall separates these two worlds, where everyone can see their reflection.
The main unifying element is a huge seven-meter bookshelf with a collection of books intended for reading by both habitants of this two-color space.”
