Futuristic Interior Design in Cinema

The humanity always dreams about the future. It's a fundamental part of human nature and human psychology. Humans always create mental strategies and material objects for future living. These are steps of evolution of civilizations, material culture, arts, part of stages of individual development and so on. Perhaps we can say that human civilization is based on three dominant ideas: representation of the past, representation of the present and representation of the future. Previos centuries gave us a new great cultural tendency which can be called non-religious "fantasies about the future". All parts of contemporary human life include some elements of human ideas about the future. They interfered into human spiritual life, knowledge, scientific researches, industrial production, arts: fiction literature, journalism, advertising, avant-garde music, theatrical arts, painting and graphic arts, computer games, architecture, interior design and landscape design, fashion design, new notions of beauty and new aesthetic ideals. Thus the future-style creativity of XX and XXI centuries is often focused at entertainments. "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves" (John Connor "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"). That's why the images of the future are so lovely, popular, charming and attractive. We invest our hopes and resolutions in our future and in common human progress but at the same time we often fear the future. Therefore scientific and cultural vision of the future falls into three prevail categories: bright and optimistic ideas, dark and pessimistic forecasts and to varying degrees objective and balanced forecasts.
One of the fullest expressions of fantasies about future is cinematograph. Cinema is the most syncretic kind of contemporary human art. Cinema combines visual and performing arts, industrial design, literature and music, sport and activities of stuntmen, scientific and technological progress. There is a great number of acknowledged cinematographic masterpieces of fiction genre. They provide us with permanent inspiration and are often an important basis of our personal creative projects, they are an originally source and unforgettable style icons. Some of fiction films contain brilliant samples of futuristic architecture and futuristic interior design. Future style interiors are often created by famous artists, interior designers and decorators. These fiction artworks help to foresee, to anticipate some aspects of future tendenses of interior design. It is sort a creativity running ahead our time! For example, tendencies of fashion or interior design, inventions and gadgets, elements of daily life and even historic and social events. There is a feeling that science-fiction artworks are sources of ideas for contemporary scientific researches, original advanced inventions and projects in the area of new production technologies and industrial design. We can say that futuristic artworks are at an avant-garde of human mind and unique opportunity for free flight of most brave dreams of humanity.

Interior design of Lux apartments of the Bariatinsky Palace (Contemporary Classic Vision of interiors)

Before the present article I wrote about restoration of interior design and their decoration for high-grade hotel apartments and public zones of The Palace Park Ensemble "Maryino" of Prince Bariatinsky, Kursk region. Design, reconstruction and restoration works were carried out by PROF PROJECT which included the architectural department and the planning-and-design office under the head of Solovieva A.V. as a project manager and an architect. The first article was devoted to redesign proposals for the lux rooms of The Maryino Palace. The first variant represented a reconstruction of the historical interiors adapted for the current use. The second article was devoted to second variant of proposals for the lux rooms of The Maryino Palace. The second option represents a new modern version of the lux rooms built upon a combination of timeless modern furniture with historical classic wall and ceiling decoration. And the present article dedicated to third option of proposals for the interior design of lux rooms of The Maryino Palace. The shape and mood of the furniture are gravitate to the Contemporary Classic Interior Design. Interior design ideas inspired by  the Modern English and American Classic Style. This is why we mostly tried to use an original american furniture and lighting in each part of lux room. Among them Baker Furniture and Barbara Barry, Henredon Furniture, Minka Lighting, Neiman Marcus and Horchow, Old Hickory Tannery, Tufenkian handmade wool rugs, Gramercy Home, Vaughan Lighting, Restoration Hardware, Ralph Lauren Home and so on.

Interior design of Lux apartments of the Bariatinsky Palace (Modern Vision of interiors)

The previos article was dedicated to restoration of interior design and their decoration for high-grade hotel apartments and public zones of The Palace Park Ensemble "Maryino" of Prince Bariatinsky, Kursk region. Design, reconstruction and restoration works were carried out by PROF PROJECT which included the architectural department and the planning-and-design office under the head of Solovieva A.V. as a project manager and an architect. The previos article was devoted to redesign proposals for the lux rooms of The Maryino Palace. The first variant represented a reconstruction of the historical interiors adapted for the current use. And this article will show the second variant of proposals for the lux rooms of The Maryino Palace. The second option represents a new modern version of the lux rooms built upon a combination of timeless modern furniture with historical classic wall and ceiling decoration. The shape and mood of the furniture is more clear and light then sophisticated forms of traditional classic historical furniture. We can see custom design modern marble fireplace grouped with Barbara Barry Cabochon Cocktail Table and Angelo Cappellini Opera Contemporary Parsifal Classic Sofa, Chelini furniture and accesories; exquisite Ralph Lauren Brook Street desk, inspired by a Napoleon III escritoire (this writing desk has a leather inset, Greek key silver leaf tooling and two pull out leather writing shelves with bookbinder detailing) with Ralph Lauren Helena Table Lamp in Crystal with Silk Shade created for Visual Comfort Lights company on the table and the Troy Armchair by Jean-Louis Deniot for Collection Pierre in the sitting room. All tints of the Sitting Room are collected in soft grey and pearl, warm chocolate, cream and old gold color gamma. The concept of the Lux Bedroom comprising the coexistence of different eclectical elements such as a Theodore Alexander round table with two Roberto Giovannini Bergere Half XVIII C. Louis XV Armchairs and a Lady's Desk from Barbara Barry; a beautiful Over the Top Bed by Caracole on the background of the elegant floristic silk wallpapers. The all walls are decorated in historical style with moldings and other ornamental plaster elements and fabrics like silk wallpapers. Also all doors are decorated in traditional  classic historical style: Tufenkian Luxury Traditional Rugs are on floors. The top lighting is represented by Baccarat Helios Chandeliers. All tints of the Bedoom are grouped in soft green, mint, blue turquoise, grey and pearl, warm chocolate, cream and old gold color gamma. The WC is created in more vivid modern style: against background of luxury Calacatta White Marble and Ann Sacks Stone Mosaic on the floor an ultra-modern shape of Antonio Lupi Wanda Bath, Oasis Hermitage Dwell Vanity with unique silver finishe venetian mirror and Studio Gate Armoire is placed.
