The light that found a home at Poison Drop in Metropolis
The circle Nastya Kolchina designed for Poison Drop began as a mirror. It was meant to hang inside a small shop at Tsvetnoy department store, but the plan was set aside. Given a space of her own to design at Metropolis, Kolchina returned to the drawing. This time the circle itself would give off light. Kolchina describes the design in her 2019 interview.
One light for the whole room
Beneath the luminous circle stood rows of glass cases holding jewelry from dozens of designers. Kolchina tried several versions of it and kept the counters below it deliberately plain. Their tops were made of white frosted glass, a finish she likened to silk. This was the old shop, one floor above ground level. See the architect’s project photographs.
In August 2024 Poison Drop reopened one floor below, with each department given a distinct set of displays. The photographs of the light belong to the earlier shop. For a fitting today, head to the ground floor. Read about the move and see the new shop.
