The stone-like spheres of Poison Drop at Paveletskaya Plaza
In Poison Drop’s photograph of its Paveletskaya shop, gray spheres are stacked in rows beneath the sign. Some are almost black. Others are pale and speckled. They could be beads seen under magnification until you notice the display cabinets behind them and get a sense of their size.
Two places to try on a ring
A 2023 account of Sinitsa’s design describes a new material the architects tried for the display cabinets. Valchromat is a wood-fibre board that can be milled. Cutting into the board gives the face of a counter a pattern you can see in the shadows along the grooves.
The furniture also helped decide where someone might pause. Alongside a tall fitting table the designers arranged a group of broad armchairs. You could stop at the table for a quick look at a ring, or take a seat to compare several pieces at leisure. Read the architects’ account and see the photographs of Paveletskaya.
