Natalia Sidorkevich, Chairlady of the Board of the Worldwide St. Petersburg Club; Anna Kislitsyna, Rector of the Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design; Natalia Siverina, Communications Director of the Bulthaup Design Gallery; and Pavel Chernyakov, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Golden Trezzini Awards, addressed the participants and guests of the evening.
The discussion was opened by Alexander Kondratyev, CEO of Alexandrovskaya Manufactory, and Kirill Ovchinnikov, an artist. They presented examples of collaboration between a renowned manufactory and a famous artist, resulting in unique tapestries exhibited in the gallery especially for the event's guests.
Georgy Balakhnichev, Deputy General Director of Management and Consulting, and former head of the department of monuments of decorative and applied arts of the KGIOP, gave a brief overview of the history of object design schools from the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, held in London in 1851, to the present day. He concluded that movements such as Bauhaus or the Ulm School of Design have not only become part of history but also have no current institutional analogs.
Professor Andrei Blinov, Head of the Department of Furniture Design at the Stieglitz Academy, reminded the audience that the history of object design should be traced not only from world exhibitions in London and Paris but from ancient Egyptian furniture. Returning to the present day, the professor discussed the training of design students to work at production enterprises and lamented that the training cycle of potential future object designers is criminally short today.
Natalia Dzembak, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Monumental and Decorative Arts of the Stieglitz Academy, and Associate Professor of the Art Textile Department, revealed the role of decorative textiles in creating the image of an interior. She presented works by star representatives of this direction of object design from different countries, as well as the brightest student projects.
The discussion was moderated by Oleg Dmitriev, director of the CORE.XP branch in St. Petersburg and deputy chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Golden Trezzini Awards, and Alexander Koval, member of the board of the Ridu Designers Union and an object designer.
The organizers sincerely thank the event partners: Bezhko Company, Alexandrovskaya Manufactory, and DZM Design.
