A personal process photo from the work around Etat, taken during DJ training in a friend’s studio. The project expanded beyond the interior and touched the sound, rhythm, and possible opening of the club.

This is a personal process photo from the work around Etat, an unrealized techno club interior design project in Kharkiv, Ukraine. During the development of the project, I wanted to understand the club format not only through space, materials, and graphics, but also through music.

I was learning DJing from my friend Zhenia Kurilo in his studio, with Pioneer DJ equipment, a turntable, mixer, speaker, and cables around the table. There was also a simple thought behind it: maybe one day I could play my own set at the opening of Etat.

An archive frame from the 2021 Artspace Award ceremony at Palace Ukraine in Kyiv. The 23A project received the Best HoReCa Project award.
"A graphic visual study for Etat, built around the idea of new energy breaking through a residential panel building. The project was developed for Kharkiv and remained unrealized because of Russia’s war against Ukraine."
"Mriinyky, cafe-bistro, Lviv, Ukraine, cafe interior design, bistro interior, concept development, color study, interior render, Zoom presentation, client meeting, pastel beige, design process"
A red crack pattern from the Etat digital explosion simulation moves across a white field. The fragment stayed in Playground because of its clear graphic quality and direct link to the interior idea.
"3D printer, 3D printing, office workflow, design process, process archive, surveillance camera recording, digital fabrication, 3D model, prototype, physical model, architectural interior design, client workflow, Ukraine"
A spontaneous material test made from baked protective masks became the first step toward Plastic-19. The blue disc was made in the rough kitchen of Gaga in Kharkiv together with Boris Lamako.
"A logo test for the Liubou project was made directly on a blue plastic panel. The combination of concrete floor, aluminum tape, active blue, and pink Martine Rose sneakers turned into a separate visual fragment."

"A visual study for Chernyi, where people gather around bright light inside a dark space. The idea was not about black as a color, but about the contrast between light and shadow."
