Interview for the « Salon » magazine
What is the nature of new ideas in your opinion?
New ideas in design, in my view, appear when the current needs of society connects with designer emotion. They arise as a result of imagination, talent and a designer’s outlook to solve a particular problem.
What should be the ratio of the rational and natural in the work of the designer?
If we talk about design of the space and objects, which are intended for use by other people, I think that the rational should still be greater. Of course, if the designer is not “clamped” by conditions and restrictions, the flights of fancy can be wider, and the result will be more interesting. However, when the designer wants to exercise his thoughts spontaneously, no one can forbid this. Such examples can be seen in young designers’ exhibitions, whose works in most cases, are based on the decoration of their own studios and, as such will never go into production.
What inspires you to create?
My family – husband and children, success in work and positive feedback, as well as a good rest inspire me.
