We will continue the story about the Trend Rooms 2025 project with the following concept, Forbidden Fruit.
The authors of the concept:
designer – Elena Markina @markina_design, architect-designer, founder of the MARKINA Design architecture and design studio
textile decorator – Marina Cheremnykh @marina_cherry, finalist of the Textile Designers and Decorators Award 2024. Top 50 textile designers and decorators from Russia and CIS countries
This is how the authors describe their source of inspiration in this project:
"We live in the rhythm of eternal haste. Work tasks are replaced by household chores, vacation plans are postponed "for later," and minutes spent with a book, in silence or on a walk seem like an unacceptable luxury. Self—care is increasingly perceived as a forbidden fruit - something that we are so drawn to, but that we do not allow ourselves to taste.
This room is an invitation to break the internal prohibition. This is an attempt to bring the viewer back to himself. Stop. Exhale. To hear what the heart really wants.
It's not just an interior, it's a space—a memory of what makes us alive: music, feelings, touches, heart-to-heart conversations, the joy of communicating with loved ones, conscious silence.
Here, every element — from organic lines and complex shades to unusual textile solutions — works as a gentle reminder: true value is always inside, not outside.
In this box-like room, hidden from the outside noise, we invite the viewer to meet with the real me. Without masks. Without roles. In the layering of materials, in the depth of color, in the honesty of forms, there is a reflection of the search for truth, personal, intimate, so different for everyone. This is the real jewel. Allow yourself to feel. Allow yourself to be."
You can see all the rooms of the project at the HomeTextile X HomeDesign exhibition.
