City: Moscow
Country: Russia
Architectural Design: Ella Korneva e Anna BabilashvilliIt is the 'best interior design' project created in Russia in 2009. This award was given by FRAME, a cult magazine in Europe which is present in Russia with a special issue. The reason for attributing the recognition was more than convincing. “Quite simply, we liked it.” Both a cultural centre and a club for collectors, the Autoville Private Collections Museum is a glass showroom inside of which it is possible to admire – and buy – precious vintage automobiles (for the most part, unique specimens). The museum’s collections are continually renewed.
The project is characterised by a wide use of glass surfaces and mirrored floors and ceilings that – in addition to expanding the exhibition space – allows admiring the exhibited cars from all angles and multiplying to infinity the reflected image. A successful experiment in the blending of high tech and art deco, Autoville is completely lit by Targetti and Louis Poulsen light fixtures, which fit perfectly into the game of transparencies and visual cross-references on which the designers, Ella Korneva and Anna Babilashvilli, have based their interior design concept.
Targetti’s professional FOHO projectors have the task of illuminating exact points of the cars, highlighting the volumes and colours, and of accompanying visitors to the entrance lobby that accommodates the bookshop and glass displays. Whereas, the relax area containing the cafeteria is dominated by a soft and extremely comforting light coming from the PH ARTICHOKE suspension lights designed in 1958 by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. The light direction is completed by MUNKEGAARD ceiling light fixtures (once again, for Louis Poulsen) and the MONDIAL projectors and KRIPTON recessed lights by Targetti.
