EXECUTIVE LINE
1
A project, created by NAYADA in cooperation with Masters of Architecture, was launched in January of 2012 and will continue for three years. Now we’d like to present the first part of the project — 5 designers’ ideas of the leading Russian architectural workshops and bureaus. We have consciously invited the architects to participate in this project. Their fundamental approach to the solution of the tasks on space organization, volumetric viewing of all sides of servicing of a finished object, optimum relationship between the aesthetics and practicality together with the outstanding individuality and high-quality of execution, have made it possible to make the project interesting for the devotees of not just the beauty, but of the thoroughness, forethought and quality as well. The peculiarity of our joint project with the architects is that we show not just an eventual result in the form of a piece of furniture but the whole process of creation “from an idea to its implementation”; the whole process takes record short time – 5 director’s workplaces of premium level have been created just in 9 months. The primary objective, which has united its participants, is to present a modern and individual view of the architecture specialists of a director’ workplace. Each of 12 collections includes: an executive desk, a conference desk, a shelf, set of shelves or racks. The manufacturing of the office furniture collection, presented in this catalogue, shall be commercialized at the factory creating the project furniture LEPOTА, part of the group of companies NAYADA, by the end of 2012. We thank all the participants and partners of the project.

PROJECT PROFILE Pole-Design, www.poledesign.ru
Vladimir Kuz’min Architect designer. Pole-Design project group manager. Lecturer at Urban Environment Design Chair in MARHI. Professor of the International Academy of Architecture (Moscow Branch). Prizewinner of the Russian State Prize in «Design» nomination and architectural professional contest «Golden section»
Project/“Profile” means: side-view, sections, cut, set of characteristics, combination of horizons, outlined imagination; custom selection of modular units for workplaces. “Profile” collection is an attempt to create “simple” objects of obvious and architectural form without any external domination of a designer and its “design”. Quality and features of material assign appearance, design, and aesthetic characteristics of a facility, and also expound author’s concept. Bringing an idea to a crystal module and transforming it into a work piece.

Vladimir Kuz’min: “Profile” collection idea is to obtain a result by minimum of means, by single approach, by clear and explicit form without decorative ruses… To do that, we used carbon, a super material, which guarantees the required easiness and clarity of a solution. Absolute quality! While preparing the “Profile” collection, we were inspired by curiosity and interest paid to the engineering process. We were inspired by creating desire, we were eager in our search. We were inspired by Love. All of this is our eternal elements which help us to turn all architectural designs into reality.

PROJECT ABD’VISE
ABD architects, www.abdcom.ru
Boris Levyant Irina Prisedskaya
ABD’Vise Project The prototype of the table’s form is a snowboard. The table has an effective edge which is a newly invented edge. This is an arc of a long radius with a smooth slope to the side of the body, which creates the maximum comfort in the contact zone. The table “bends” to the owner at the contact line, but it stays rigid and plain at the working surface. The form of the tabletop allows to get 4 functional variants: a working table, a table with an add-on for customers, a double table for team work, a negotiation table in the form of a “boat”.

Boris Levyant: Creation of a new object for us, in the first place, is an excitement, which originates when solving the task set by the customer. This is an endeavor to find the one perfectly suitable solution from the dozens of possible variants, motivated by our curiosity and our wish to find a new aspect of customary objects, ideas, theories and practices. The leading question which follows us during the work: “And what, if we…?”

PROJECT SPEECH Speech Tchoban & Kuznetsov, www.speech.su
Architectural workshop “SPEECH Tchoban & Kuznetsov” run by Sergey Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov was established in 2006 as a result of effective cooperation of architect bureau “nps tchoban voss” (Berlin) and “Tchoban and partners” (Moscow) with the workshop “S.P.Project” for many years. Nowadays, there are approximately 200 employees in the workshop, and the portfolio of Speech Tchoban & Kuznetsov includes more than 50 projects and developments performed for Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia, as well as for the countries of CIS. Projects of the workshop are characterized by a highly professional approach to the solution of the full complex of designing tasks, beginning from formation of town-planning conception and expressive solution for volume and space, finishing with detail development of facade solutions, taking into account a long-term perspective of exploitation of buildings and interior design, including designing of authorial pieces of furniture.
22
23
Project Speech The collection includes characteristic traits of purism and free style shape design: orthogonal configuration and curvilinear details harmoniously complement each other. A characteristic trait of the collection is a continuity of a wooden plain surface, forming a basic frame, contrasting with varnished functional elements. Due to the versatile character of design, the collection may be combined with any interior design, whereas the quality of materials and treatment of the surfaces may satisfy the most demanding taste.
24
Sergey Tchoban: When new architectural objects are being created, I consider the discovery of a new shape to be a priority. However, this shape shall not shock but harmoniously fit into the proposed environment, be long-lasting in respect to not only materials but a found image as well. This very work principle was taken into consideration at creation of Project Speech for the purpose of which we found a soft, smooth and at the same time subsequently decisive shape.

27
Sergey Kuznetsov: In our projects we aim at application of elastic and smooth lines and shapes slightly reminding of a human body plastic figure. As to the specifics of the object design we try to draw objects that are pleasant to look at, something that is nice to feel with a hand. Certainly, just as any idea undergoing the stages of development from the first image to the real object, our conception has suffered certain amendments, under the influence of industrial and technological opportunities. Something became simpler, something was significantly changed, and something had to be rejected. But it is inevitable. The main thing for us is to make up and subsequently implement one bright topic. I believe we managed to cope with this task.

PROJECT VICTORIA Architectural Workshop, www.totan.ru
Project Victoria The object represents a composition consisting of a bookcase and two tables – a table of the director and a table for negotiations which are made from wooden agglutinated lamellas and organic glass. The supports of the tables have а V-shape. At the request of the customer a table of the director may be made as an indivisible composition with a table for negotiations as well as separately, and may be completed with internal lighting located inside the construction. The bookcase has a zigzag form and represents a self-supporting structure made of wooden stands with a frequent step. The shelves in the bookcase are intended for keeping magazines, books and objects which are of particular value for the owner.

Totan Kuzembaev: When working on each project I feel adrenalin, interest and curiosity, novelty and ‌ very special feelings similar to those when you are in love for the first time. When working on a project in tandem, striving for harmony, search for the best decision between the co-authors and between the authors and the customer become an integral part of work. In Victoria Project we worked with wood, a natural material which is often used by me. In my opinion it is the most gentle, the dearest, the softest and the warmest material. In the course of design and further implementation of the project we took into consideration, first of all, its users. Modern directors are active people. They are always on the go, as a waterfall, as a powerful river, they lead the way. We wanted to feature this idea. It is up to you to judge in what we succeeded and in what not.

“O-24” Project A present-day manager works 24 hours a day. This fact has become the basis for a line of the furniture “0-24”. Following our concept we are going to include into the list of the developed themes not only the furniture, traditional for a workplace, but the furniture for the recreation areas and even a line of the bathroom fixtures (together with Roca Company). The decorative element “brain”, serving in one case as a desk support and in another case as the multifunctional shelves, shall unite different bits of furniture in a whole entity.

Yevgeny Polyantsev: I have always been interested in a specifically set task. I believe that big themes and images are born from the simple details. At the same time I try to watch the surrounding things and processes in great detail. The directive questions in the work process are “How?”, “What for?”, “Why?” and ”What are the reasons for it?”. The answers to them help to overcome stereotypes. In general, I am not a follower of
