DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

: Creating the concept of the console table, I was inspired by the Byzantine architecture drawings. In my opinion the buildings plans outlines of that architectural period look extremely contemporary now. The console table design is based on the San Vitale Basilica in Ravenna plan and interior. Shape and volume are determined by the plan, while the colors and choice of materials are associated with the interior decoration of the Basilica. Capacious contemporary design cutting off all that is superfluous, but containing the historical heritage.

DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
