Poison Drop in Kazan and a chandelier on the scale of a shop
Strands of light dip and cross above the counters at Poison Drop in Kazan. Seen from the arcade, each loop gives way to another further inside. The shop photograph catches almost the whole sweep from the doorway. Under it, the white display cases look quite small.
How a necklace hangs
Daria Kirpichnikova and Anastasia Kolchina of Sinitsa designed the hundred-square-metre shop in 2022. In an interview with Afisha Daily, the designers explain how they made the twelve-metre chandelier from cord intended for use in a sauna. The architects name beads, chains and diamonds as references for the chandelier. Its strands hang in much the same curve as a necklace, only here they stretch across a room.
At the threshold, a dark disc bearing the shop’s name interrupts the view. To one side of it the counters come back into sight, all the way to the rear wall. The straight edges of the cases below make the sweeping curves of the lights easier to see.
