Soviet Interior Design of the Stalinist Period Exhibition

At Design Miami/Basel 2013, Heritage Gallery of Moscow unveils another sensational exhibition dedicated to Soviet interior design. The gallery will make the first-ever exhibition of unique one-off interior items of the Soviet Empire Style spanning the the Stalinist period, the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. During Stalinist times, interior and architecture styles were unified by the Kremlin and, in fact, the Soviet Empire Style was marked by luxury and big sizes. However, with Nikita Khrushchev, this style was criticized and many interior items from the Stalinist period were thrown away and lost. Few items have been preserved, which makes this exhibition even more special. Heritage Gallery will present unique decorative objects, lamps, and exquisite furniture. Most were single-copy items, made at great cost for the private apartments of the political elite, as well as for public spaces such as the Hotel Moskva, and the Red Army Theater in Moscow. http://www.johnvarolipr.com/newsletter/heritage_gallery_may/
