PIECE OF PARADISE | Svetoslav Todorov

The design concept was created in relation to the distinctive shape of the space – irregular hexagon. We set one of the room’s axis as dominant by opening a corner (two window-displays) to the terrace, extending the space and giving it a desired proportion and connecting the interior with the exterior.
We mastered the disordered hexagon to achieve a regular one and we applied a general mathematical correlation between all interior elements. The key to the task was structural combinatorics and work with the proportions and scale of a geometric shape. We introduced a combination of natural and worm on one hand and flawless, synthetic and “cold” materials on the other hand to achieve the balance of sensations needed.
We created a strong, distinguished and conceptual impression that adjusts and masters the space, acquiring design inspiration from nature – the honeycomb through the use of a simple geometric shape (equilateral triangle and the derivative regular hexagon). Furthermore we differentiated the desired effects by changing scale. In this project we applied some of the insights from the work of the great architect Antoni Gaudí.
