Art Nouveau by Daria Grigorieva.

   In Russia, to be more specific Moscow a retro Art Nouveau apartment was designed by interior designer Daria Grigorieva. The 120 square meter apartment designed by solid oak wood and tiny mosaic gives us a flash back in the design world. This luxurious apartment takes us a trip back to time bringing us memories of an old era. The Art Nouveau is the idea of adapting different structures within the environment not only flowers or plant but also curved lines. Giving the impression of living structure as most realistic, an art that started in (1890-1910) and inspires until today. So that’s what we see in this Russian apartment, a natural Art Nouveau from the point o view of the designer Daria Grogorieva. The perfect finishing of the wood motives the collection of fine furniture and the details that make the conclusion.
