In any field of activity, there are people whose work is better than others. The world of design is no exception. Famous interior designers are creative personalities that make us see and feel. This is the whole point of their work, creativity and life. In this article you can see the names of the most famous designers of the world and Russia.
Patricia Urquiola and Karim Rashid
Design work (especially on an industrial and production scale) is considered to be the work of male hands. However, ladies have successfully refuted this rule. Patricia Urquiola entered the world of design with the power of a hurricane. In 2004, in Milan, she presented to the audience more than 40 designed interior items. A year later, she replenished the collection with chairs and tables, sofas, beds, as well as one watch and a hammock. The main principle of her work is the rejection of complete symmetry in furniture. Famous museums of the world are not averse to putting her creations on display of thousands of people, and many reputable companies are fighting for cooperation with Patricia.
The list of “The most famous interior designers in the world” includes Karim Rashid. He emphasizes non-standard. More than three thousand of his inventions adorn apartments and houses, hotels and cafes, and offices. Transparent chairs with unique patterns from Rashid are best known. He skillfully combines sensuality with natural simplicity in them. The master has many awards and prizes.
Achille Castiglioni - a man with unlimited imagination
Achille Castiglione is on the list of “The Most Famous Interior Designers of the 20th Century”. He was called the "patriarch of design." He gladly took up the design of furniture, electrical appliances and passed this joy on to people. 52 years of his career were not in vain - Castiglioni designed more than 150 interior items that are now represented in many museums.
Achille, an Italian by birth, worked with his brothers for a long time. Their work had a huge impact on the development of design in Italy. Two works that turned out to be too progressive for their time became the visiting card of the brothers: a MEZZARDO stool (a tractor seat with a curved back leg) and a SELLA stool (an ordinary bicycle seat, which was mounted on a metal support).
The designer devoted a lot of time to the design of lighting devices. Collaborating with many well-known brands, Castiglione gained fame. It was he who invented the Arco floor lamp, which is very popular now.
Famous interior designers: Ingo Maurer and Werner Panton
Ingo Maurer is a German designer who has not studied the basics of business at any of the universities in the world. Despite this, his name is considered one of the most significant in the history of light design. The master himself calls his work "the art of creating light." Self-taught constantly asked the fashion for lighting, without even thinking about it. Its main task is not to create a lighting device, but to solve the problem of lighting a room. It worked out great for him! His most famous inventions are a lamp in the form of an ostrich, a fishing rod lamp, and a winged light bulb.
The list of "Famous Interior Designers" is impossible without mentioning the name Werner Panton. This Dane was considered a revolutionary in furniture design. Since the beginning of his career, he has been experimenting with materials and forms. His CONE CHAIR armchair in the shape of an inverted cone turned out to be so innovative that when it was displayed in the window, a terrible commotion occurred, which only the police could stop.
Famous interior designers: Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto
Among the designers and architects of Denmark, Arne Jacobson became the most famous. At the beginning of his career, he was engaged only in architectural business, having designed and built hundreds of houses. True fame came to him after he embarked on a design path. His creations - chairs and armchairs "Anthill", "Egg", "Swan" - became world hits. They conquered Olympus thanks to the outlines repeating the human body, comfort and grace.
Finnish master Alvar Aalto created simple things that would serve people while in harmony with them. His best known technique is bent plywood. His tables, stools and chairs, made in this manner, became examples of functional design. Famous interior designers of the world still use the motives of Aalto's creativity. The master paid special attention to lighting. He began to design furniture and lighting devices as an addition to the architectural work to which he devoted his life.
Anthony Arola - original Spaniard
Anthony Arola is a famous master of design in Spain. He began working without intermediaries in his own name studio in 1994. Then he released the first collection of lamps. From that moment on, the play of light captured him forever. The most famous models from Arol are Nimba and Metalarte street lights.
For Anthony, closer is manual work than production in factories. He always strives for simplicity and origins, but at the same time - for innovation. Anthony Studio is engaged in interior design in apartments, offices, cafes and shops. He creates furniture, lighting items, bottles for a famous perfume. Arola teaches at the School of Art at the University of Barcelona, and is a member of the jury for the design promotion award. In 2003, he was awarded the Design Achievement Award in Spain. Therefore, he is included in the list of "The most famous interior designers."
Hella Jongerius
Once Hella dreamed of a career as an artist. But, according to her, "the artist has too much freedom." Therefore, she became a designer. The girl proved herself a master of splicing. It combines the seemingly incompatible - a computer keyboard and a blanket, insects and chairs, frogs and tables. Her most famous works are made of ceramics - these are plates spliced with tablecloths. In its plates, the central place is occupied by charming animal figures: hippos, deer. Vases with embroidery and a teapot in a women's dress are also her work.
Jongerius at heart is still the same artist, so she is not afraid of the brush. She independently decorates many of her projects with paintings. Hence the sometimes too high price of her works.
Hella also collaborated with IKEA, bringing art to the masses. Not always the most famous interior designers sell masterpieces at frantic prices. Hella produces a collection of budget vases and carpets. The carpets are decorated with the heads of goats and foxes. By the way, the craftswoman herself does not like pets, accepting them only in the form of figures in her works.
Mia Gammelgard - designer from Stockholm
After graduating from Stockholm University of the Arts and the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen, the Swede begins her journey into the world of design. She helps her discover this world through her collaboration with Blå Station and Ikea. In 2005, Mia opens its own name studio in Copenhagen. Love for teamwork is a good feature, but well-known interior designers are clearly deprived of it. And their work speaks about it. However, Mia Gammelgard is one of those who prefer team work.
She is ready to take charge of the project and lead it to the end.
One of the master’s most famous works is the Hippo chair. Many associate the name with the hippie style. Knitted leggings are “put on” the legs of a wooden chair. Actually the salt of the name is different. A Potamus table is set against a Hippo chair. And here in front of the audience is a hulking hippo. This does not contradict the concept of the work of Hammelgard, who believes that design is a game. And this game winds around creativity, production and dialogue between people.
Burulleki brothers - a unique duet
The French Ronan and Ervan Burulleki are specialists in furniture, product design and interior decoration. The interiors of famous designers, photos of which are presented in the article, are always functional and slightly funny. The style of famous French cannot be confused with the creations of other masters. Favorite details of the apartment - screens and partitions - are always modular and consist of the same number of elements. Favorite material of the creators is textiles. Passion for repetition is expressed in working with him. To transform textiles, they each time look for unusual methods, referring to ancient techniques or original forms. Despite technological progress, Burulleks like to draw sketches with a simple pencil, returning to the original sources.
Buruleks are very responsible and executive. Before launching the collection into mass production, they always meticulously study each of its steps. This view of production helped them to make a name for themselves, and later to keep it.
Alessandra Balderesi - a promising craftswoman
Alessandra Balderesi is considered one of the most promising women designers who are creating now. Famous interior designers and their work (you can see the photo in the article) are well-known to everyone. But such glory is always the result of hard work, trial and error. Balderesi herself made her name. After graduating from the academy in 2000, she went to live and work in Japan. Eastern experience makes itself felt: the work of the designer is interesting and unusual. They combine Italian romanticism and oriental laconicism. Among her works, an armchair stands out, consisting of a simple metal frame, but decorated with expertly selected pillows. Another success of Baldareshi is an aquarium in the form of a whale, inside of which fish splash.
The craftswoman strives to be closer to nature. All her creations clearly speak of this. A delicate lamp with acrylic petals looks like a real dahlia that their garden just brought. But the Italians consider riding carpet to be the top of their career, which at first glance cannot be distinguished from natural moss.
The best designers of Russia
Many talented people live in our country. New studios are constantly opening, offering interior projects. But who are they, famous interior designers in Russia?
Svetlana Arefieva, who graduated from the Institute of the Northern Capital, was an intern in Italy. The designer began her career with a large-scale project - she designed the interior of the Konstantinovsky Palace for the president. Now Svetlana prefers to work with residential interiors, making them bright and aesthetic.
Pavel Abramov is a supporter of minimalism. He seeks beauty in the purity of lines and the simplicity of color. Pavel specializes in private projects (houses and apartments, furnishings). Its distinguishing feature is a reverent attitude to the project, a ban on making adjustments by the customer. That is why his work is so individual and stylistically clean.
