Angelina Askeri Designs An Eclectic Art-Filled Moscow Apartment
By Quinn Halman
For Polina Askeri, a gallery owner and social media influencer in Moscow, there is no one better than her own sister to design an apartment that matches her taste. “She really likes quirky objects and unusual pieces,” shares Angelina Askeri, founder and principal of her namesake interior design firm. Drawing inspiration from the many shades of blue in the sea and Jean-Michel Frank’s apartment for Nelson Rockefeller, Angelina combined Polina Askeri’s love for both the simplicity of nature and the extravagance of art for a one-of-a-kind home.
With a background in fine arts, Angelina Askeri sketched the designs for pieces she could not otherwise find to match her sister’s specific vision. The living room’s focal point, a non-functioning fireplace with a TV that emerges from the top, reflects the dynamism of the ocean’s waves with a paisley-like design set in plaster, Angelina Askeri first drew up. Overall, art is central to this project; from displaying the sketches of Marc Chagall and Yayoi Kusama, sculptures by Jeff Koons and KAWS, and bringing her own drawings to life, Angelina Askeri created a space that reflects her sister's artful life.
