Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova created an art installation for Best Interior Festival

Combining Art, Design, Architecture and Theatre

 

OFFLINE, Art installation for BIF 2019

Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova presented a conceptual installation ‘OFFLINE’ created at the Best Interior Festival 2019.

The designers were invited by the Union of Architects of Russia to participate in a project titled “Interiors as the theatre”. The art project explores the role of an architect in scenography.

The concept was about the boundaries of Love. The designers’ interpretation was put in a contemporary hight tech world of context, on a bigger scale than just the gender relationships.

 

OFFLINE, Art installation for BIF, Black zone

The designers created two zones – black and white. The white one symbolises emptiness with the projection of the iPhone screen with an open messenger chat – the modern way of interaction.

The black part is about good old days reality filled with emotions, paper books, love letters, history and literature. We see a scriptwriter or a film director getting inspiration from the real-life stories and transforming them to the masterpieces. And it gives us hope and aspirations for the future.

Read the Interview with Oleg Klodt about the concept on www.archi.ru

The art installation was awarded by the Union of Architects of Russia as the best art project presented at the Festival.

Our studio latest project was awarded a PREMIUM LIVING DESIGN AWARD

We are delighted to announce that our studio latest residential project was shortlisted in a top 100 best Premium Living Residential projects.

The Award is initiated and organised by ARCHIPROFI design community and the Council Of Experts of Interior Design and Architectural Environment!

Luxury private apartment in the heart of Moscow — Wine House, Nomination Apartment, less than 150 sq. m.

The apartment is like a jewellery box – full of individual and unique items. The central elements of the dining room are the table and chairs from O&A’s Oleg and Anna’s first furniture collection.

The designers paid special attention to the overall general background of the space, which – despite its monochrome appearance – is marked by original detail. One of the bedrooms boasts handmade wallpaper from the Caledonia collection by Anna and Oleg, which was manufactured in collaboration with Holland & Sherry. The collection was inspired by the Scottish landscapes, and the design used in this project (Staffa, Tranquil) imitates basalt pillars of the Staffa island. The poetic name of the colour is reinforced by the special tranquil atmosphere created in the bedroom.

Also, the designers used the textile from O&A London Caledonia collection.

Anna Agapova said of the design: “Despite the prevailing grey throughout this project, the interior turned out amazingly warm, saturated and enveloping. It transfixes you and allows you to rest and enjoy the silence and domestic bliss”.

The World of Interiors: Caledonia new rugs collection Caledonia

Highlighting our recent publication in The Worlds of Interiors.

The CALEDONIA Collection reflects the deeply intimate sense of beauty that designers Anna Agapova and Oleg Klodt felt on their first visit to Scotland.  Being inspired by the majestic Scottish landscape, the designers created a story that journeyed around the land of the Celts and is reflected in the 5 unique designs.

On the image our key design. ‘Ocean’ Design has a pattern reminiscent of the trails left by receding waves on the wet sand. It is unpredictable, like water, taking multiple shapes and forms before returning to the bosom of the sea.

ELLE DECORATION AWARD

Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova, co-founders of O&A LONDON, were nominated the Best Designers of the Year 2019!

Every year ELLE DECORATION RUSSIA announces the designers who have created revolutionary and inspiring work that has defined the style of modern homes.

We want to thank the editorial team for the high appreciation of O&A London collections and congratulate to all our colleagues!

 

This award is the best gift for O&A London brand 2 years birthday.

Oleg and Anna’s story as product designers started 19 years ago with design bespoke items for their interior projects. But only two years ago, the designers decided to consolidate their bespoke furniture production experience under own brand.

 

Oleg Klodt & Anna Agapova

By taking inspiration from key design movements and iconic moments in history, such as Bauhaus and the Art-Deco, Anna and Oleg have created something classically rooted for the contemporary interior.

The first time O&A London furniture collection was shown in London at the Holiday House exhibition 2017.

The last year the emerging brand made the second big step, and was extended with textile & wallpaper collection CALEDONIA produced in collaboration with Holland & Sherry.

In spring 2019 the first O&A London showroom was opened in Chelsea Harbour Design Centre.

In autumn 2019 designers presented their first rugs collection produced in collaboration with British company Riviere Rugs.

We feel inspired and ready to achieve new heights!

DECOREX INTERNATIONAL: Caledonia collection presentation

We were delighted to showcase our handcrafted luxury rug designs at Decorex International, Olympia London from 6th to 9th of October.

For those who missed the launch of the collaborative collection CALEDONIA at Focus Festival, this was an excellent opportunity to discover the OCEAN rug at the show.

‘Ocean’ Design has a pattern reminiscent of the trails left by receding waves on the wet sand. It is unpredictable, like water, taking multiple shapes and forms before returning to the bosom of the sea.

 

CALEDONIA collection: Ocean Design

‘Caledonia’ is a luxurious collection of wool and silk rugs created in partnership with and Riviere Rugs that is inspired by the majestic Scottish landscape.

Sophisticated nature-inspired design and traditional artisanal techniques put together result in a true masterpiece. Every rug is fully handcrafted in Nepal.

Decorex is a four-day interior design show for professionals, celebrating the people taking interior design to the next level.

Thanks to all who visited us, we hope you enjoyed this fantastic design show!

Synthesis: NEW furniture collection from O&A London
OCTANTIS table: new furniture collection 2019

This Autumn Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova presented their second furniture collection Synthesys.

The new collection was created in partnership with The Odd Chair Company, an English company which has been offering its customers furniture of unique style and quality for over 40 years, created by skilled craftsmen in their own workshops in the North-West of England. 

During the creation of the new collection, the designers were led by an idea to manufacture a product line that falls within a more democratic price bracket while at the same time being more universal in terms of style.   

This aim dictated the method. The new collection is very close to constructionism in style and the main principles are mobility, functionality and succinctness. At the same time every product reflects the unique signature of its designers – elegant lines and immaculate detail.  

All of the items are characterised by artful playing with shapes and volume, where laconic geometry is compensated by sophisticated decorative accents. Vibrancy and synthesis are the main principles of this collection which also inspired its name.   

One of the advantages of the Synthesys collection is the possibility of wide customisation. The client gets the opportunity to be a co-author changing the colour, size and materials to taste and create objects that reflect their own individuality.  

Following an established O&A tradition every item derives its name from various constellations and galaxies.  

The ORION table has an unusual shape which is expertly executed. It comprises three supports that go through the table top. The contrast of leather, wood and metal makes this item a stylish addition to soft furniture ensembles. 

The OCTANTIS table was inspired by nature, specifically the curves of a boulder. This sculptural table carved from wood will provide an elegant addition to the area around the fireplace or paired with a soft furniture ensemble in sitting rooms.  

The APODIS sofa is designed to be the centrepiece of any interior and to attract attention from any angle. Architect Oleg Klodt created this original shape playing with dimensions and volume. The harmony of this composition is achieved due to designer Anna Agapova’s immaculate attention to every small detail. 

The CETI armchair provides a harmonious addition to the APODIS sofa. The main feature of this chair is the contrast between a heavy backrest and an elegantly shaped seat. The absence of armrests takes away the bulkiness associated with this item of furniture. The unusual support system gives the chair its light floating appearance. 

The DELPHINI chaise has combines the functionality of an armchair and sofa. This helps with space management which is especially useful in small rooms. The diversity of shapes and curves makes this chaise the embodiment of playfulness.

Inspired by high-tech architecture: New chandeliers from O&A London
ALTAIR chandelier: new collection 2019

In September 2019 the design duo of Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova revealed their unique second lighting collection. The new collection is inspired by modernism and functional designs of high-tech architecture. The designers’ approach is in transforming functional details in decorative elements. Oleg and Anna do it with the style, wit and elegance! 

Oleg Klodt: “From my experience, not many designers and manufacturers pay attention to hiding functional elements such as lamps, cables and wires thinking that decorative elements are attracting the viewers’ attention. As a result, there are not so many chandeliers that are entitled to be refined in design and are smart from the engineering perspective, especially when thinking in terms of oversize lighting fixtures”. 

The new chandeliers fill the gap in the luxury lighting market. These items are shining examples of smart elegance and design intelligence.   

The Altair chandelier is the perfect piece for high-ceiling space, including atriums and staircases. The chandelier presents an art piece where every detail is carefully thought out and beautifully implemented.  The bearing structure is elegant and geometrical. All functional elements are hidden in metal bars and balls, that play the role of main decorative features. Lamps are not visible, and the light softly passes through trapezius vertical glass units that are arranged in staggered formations. Altair chandelier is an eclectic chandelier with elements of ArtDeco and is suitable for any modern interior. 

The Meridian chandelier is a laconic luxury piece which brings a unique atmosphere to any surrounding, especially to modern bedrooms and living rooms. The chandelier features an acrylic lampshade covered in sophisticated thin metal chains. The soft, whispering sound of strings fill the space with relaxing vibes. The lamps are not visible due to the acrylic platform, which is a smart design trick. The light is reflected and passes evenly through the sides of the lamp. All the functional elements are not visible. This lighting fixture is a genuine piece of jewellery for the interior. 

The chandeliers can be customised in any size and finish.  

O&A London 

After years of designing private and commercial projects, Oleg and Anna noticed that certain items are hard to find on the market. As a result, the next obvious step was to create a whole new brand: O&A London. Designers began to create pieces that they could not find on the market to suit their projects. 

The main brand values of O&A London brand are timeless design, universality and architectural approach.  

Anna Agapova, Creative Director of O&A London: “Trends are replacing one another at an increasing rate and often mixing. But every time, as they come to the fold again, they are transformed due to the new technology, and this is exciting for us in the furniture sector. We are confident that designers and architects will continue to create spaces and products that link us with the past. People’s desire to remain in spaces of comfort and calm where they can explore real human connections remains as true as ever. This is why we created the brand O&A London, reflecting these values and striving to offer our clients something timeless”.

Caledonia new rugs collection from O&A London and Riviere Rugs

In the autumn of 2019, O&A London is presenting its first collection of hand-made rugs CALEDONIA. The collection was created in partnership with Riviere Rugs, an English company known for its unique approach to manufacturing which is based on centuries-old weaving traditions of Nepal masters.

The CALEDONIA Collection reflects the deeply intimate sense of beauty that designers Anna Agapova and Oleg Klodt felt on their first visit to Scotland, where the images of their new wallpaper and fabrics collection took shape. Being inspired by the majestic Scottish landscape, the designers created a story that journeyed around the land of the Celts and is reflected in the 5 unique designs.

Scotland: the story behind the CALEDONIA collection

‘Ocean’ Design has a pattern reminiscent of the trails left by receding waves on the wet sand. It is unpredictable, like water, taking multiple shapes and forms before returning to the bosom of the sea.

In ‘Shells’ Design, the natural pattern of a shell resembles a map of a journey veined by a myriad of roads.

‘Sound of Fingal’s Cave’ Design is inspired by the highland of Staffa based on majestic architecture formed from the natural phenomenon of hexagonal jointed basalt. Similar in structure to the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.

The laconic, airy pattern of ‘Heather’ Design subtly encapsulates the inimitable charm of this flower, that is tender yet tough and strong.

‘Celtic’ Design is a reflection of ancient symbols that have become part of a long legacy of Scottish heritage. They’ve often been immortalized in poetry, songs and music, and are tightly woven into the colourful history of this fascinating country.

CALEDONIA collection is the result of the talented tandem of O&A London and Riviere Rugs and was created using only natural materials such as the finest high-grade Tibetan wool and pure Chinese silk. The uniqueness of this collection is the potential for wide customization. Changing the colour, size, and the print scale, every client will have a unique work of art.

The experience gained by Oleg & Anna in over ten years of collaboration with Riviere Rugs for their own projects has led to this partnership of an exclusive collection.

The collection is available in the Riviere Rugs boutique at the following address:
46 Lots Road, London, SW10 0QF

Homes & Interiors Scotland: Interview with Anna Agapova

Interior designers do far more than just help choose nice cushions. They play a crucial role in ensuring your new space works for you on every level, turning a house into a home and making it a pleasure to live in.

Anna Agapova, Creative Director O&A London

Anna Agapova, Creative Director at O&A London tells about the design process and trends in September issue of Homes & Interiors Scotland.

What are the benefits of using an interior designer?

Anna Agapova: A good designer is an artist and a psychologist. They study their clients, their rhythm of life, character, dreams and desires. And then they reflect this in the design, creating spaces that go far beyond simply an idea of comfort. I want my rooms to be like art – to inspire people and bring out different emotions. It’s a myth that hiring a designer is expensive. A good designer will find the best combination of price and quality. They will know the characteristics of building materials and will tell you how these behave and whether their cost is justified. That way, you can avoid irreversible mistakes and unnecessary expenses. Also, many shops give designers discounts, which will help to keep your project on budget.

When should the interior designer get involved in a build or renovation project?⠀

Ideally, the interior designer should get involved at the very beginning. Just like the architect, builder and engineer, they will offer a different perspective and have an important influence on the finished product. The designer will draw up a work plan with a description of what needs to be done when. They’ll also assist with costs and can help steer you away from impulsive decisions that may break the budget. Most importantly, they will help create a space that truly reflects who you are.

What are the top trends for kitchens and bathrooms?

For bathrooms, I’d say the main trends are wood, wallpaper and freestanding basins. Adding something natural and organic makes the bathroom feel accessible and welcoming. Try a combination of different colours and styles of timber, a high-quality hardwood floor or wooden panelling. The latter can add tradition but changing the colour will freshen things. Consider wallpaper, especially a flower print, which is very on trend. Papers are easy to replace when – much easier than removing tiles. Papering just one wall is effective, particularly if it is something glamorous and with a sheen. The latest collection by Antonio Lupi, an icon of bathroom design, is proof that
freestanding washbasins have become the focus of contemporary bathrooms. Models made entirely of marble are especially stylish. Lightness and solidity are balanced by natural forms and streamlined shapes.

For kitchens, contrasting textures and smooth finishes are in vogue – a glossy splashback or marble countertop matches rough wood drawer fronts. Lighting is always crucial but we are seeing far more demand for statement pendants and chandeliers, rather than simple task lighting. Green and olive are the most popular colours for the new-season, combining with rough natural materials such as wood, stone, jute and leather. People are gravitating towards warm, tactile and above all natural materials. Waste segregation systems are no longer an optional extra; it is essential that designers make these invisible and highly functional.

Any design advice on windows and how to dress them?

We usually take a three-layer approach to dressing windows. We prefer a Roman shade from natural monochrome cotton as the outer layer; in the middle, we always put a blackout blind; and we finish this curtain pie with a decorative drape, which is made from natural materials such as silk or wool. This combination helps to control the light in the room, and shades the room easily in the summer.

MosBuild Perfect Home — O&A Design Interior Project for a Boy’s Bedroom

As part of the MosBuild 2019, architect Boris Uborovich-Borovsky created a project of a perfect home. And ten designers created an interior design for each room of this building.

What should an ideal room for a teenager look like in a perfect house? O&A Design team, led by its creative director Anna Agapova, designed an interior for a bedroom of a teenager who is allegedly really interested in aircraft engineering.

Dreaming of the skies is represented by the ribbon fabric ceiling finish. The protruding metal lens on the wall is very symbolic as it resembles an aircraft window and represents a window into the big world of adulthood full of discoveries.

“All grown-ups were once children, and our room reflects the concept of growing up, first love, friendships, sense of duty, being true to one’s dreams and purity of thought.” — Anna Agapova and Oleg Klodt.

Behind the scenes of O&A Design
Creative workspace interior

O&A Design is a London branch of the highly regarded, award-winning Russian company Oleg Klodt Architecture & Design established in 2000.

Despite the fact that the London branch of the bureau was registered back in 2017 it took Oleg and Anna nearly a year to find suitable office space. They finally chose a building in the style of the French Renaissance located in Belgravia just 5 minutes walk from Buckingham Palace.

Our AVIOR Chandelier at the New Homes & Gardens Golden Issue

So proud to see highlighted our AVIOR chandelier in the new Homes & Gardens magazine issue.

By this gold issue, Homes & Gardens celebrate their 100 years old. A true collector’s edition, it is packed with the most amazing houses, inspiring decorating and beautiful gardens, fabulous one-off features from content plundered from our archive and ‘The Hundred List’, the definitive edit of people and brands that are shaping interiors today. We are excited to be a part of it!

O&A London Furniture Lookbook

The O&A London furniture collection was created by the leading design team of Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova. With their focus on the very finest details and on combining time-honoured and pioneering methods and materials, they are renowned for producing one-off pieces that harmonise effortlessly with their setting. This is the hallmark of O&A London.

The minimalism and precision of O&A London pieces can be traced back to the luxuriance of the Art-Dèco and late Modernism movements and to the clean, sharp lines of Bauhaus. By cherry-picking attributes from these iconic moments in history, O&A London has created something classically-rooted for the contemporary interior. It is a collection that can be said to question the very role of furniture; a fundamentally sculptural approach that embraces the very latest technologies in a skilful balance of ideas and materials, of form and function.

A unique feature of this collection is its ability – guided by Oleg’s architectural eye and Anna’s design sensibilities – to blend luxury, simplicity of form and complexity of technique. Exquisite textures meet hand-crafted touches. Classical design meets advanced manufacturing techniques.

ALKES Console at Salon Interior Magazine

We are so happy to be at the Salon Interior magazine’s selection of 15 best consoles for a modern interior.

“Console tables, previously only seen in the homes of the upper classes and the well do are now available to everyone. They have become as functional now as they were considered impractical before. Besides, nowadays when choosing a console table, one pays most attention to its appearance. The consumers strongly prefer the modern luxury style, the so-called “new art deco” so the console tables’ appearance has somewhat changed to suit the consumer preferences.

Of course, expensive materials and exquisite finishes are used to manufacture them. Some Italian manufacturers still adhere to traditional practices and offer console tables made in the classic Ludovic style. But some have moved forward, and their consoles are minimalistic with futuristic influences. We have chosen the most interesting, stylish and not too flamboyant examples of console tables. “

 

ALKES console

“This console table is part of a new furniture collection by Russian designers Oleg Klodt and Anna Agapova under O&A London brand. Modern Luxury.”

Our First Stand at Salone del Mobile Milano

Thibault Van Renne, luxury rug label, and O&A London, a multinational brand for furniture, lighting, textile and wallpaper lines, presented a collaborative stand at the 58th Annual show Salone del Mobile. It is one of the world’s largest furniture fairs, that was held in Milan, Italy from 9th to 14th of April 2019.

This exclusive stand was developed by the duo of architect Oleg Klodt and designer Anna Agapova from the O&A Design studio. The designers who are well known for their experimental approach to the creation of conceptual projects by re-examining of the retail idea created the stand in the style of an art gallery.

Visitors were invited to view the TVR rug collection as genuine pieces of art. The stand resembled a long asymmetrical arcade gallery with chambers. Going through the gallery one could enjoy the rugs displayed on both sides of the walls similar to the way paintings are in a museum. Each room had its tone and style and represented deferent themes of the rugs.

At the end of the pathway was the centre masterpiece — a handcrafted rug with an exceptional ornament. That was the place of contemplation.

Oleg and Anna complemented the space using their own O&A London collection of furniture and light fittings. In the collection designers combined cultural traditions of different countries and eras while using ultra-modern materials and utilising the latest technology, making sure the areas are all infused with one another and intertwined.

The luxurious O&A London lighting collection created a unique atmosphere and made carefully selected rugs to stand out while the furniture pieces demonstrated how collectable items can unite the space and play the role of the first violin in the interior, making it unique and timeless.

The stand reflected and reinforced the principles of the TVR and O&A brands and created an immersive customer experience.
