Bulgarian Designers Unveil The ‘Aesthetic Apartment’ That Looks Like A Piet Mondrian Painting
The famous Dutch painter Piet Mondrian was known for his simplistic, yet distinct style that was a part of the De Stijl movement. Using straight lines and also a limited palette, he aimed to deconstruct reality and depict its ‘true’ form.
Even though his style is considered to be simplistic, in 2015 he broke records as his famous painting titled ‘Composition No III, with Red, Blue, Yellow and Black’ from 1929 was sold for $50.6m. Impressive, isn’t it?
But have you ever wondered what was in the mind of the abstract painter when he came up with the ideas for this work? Bulgarian design studio Brani & Desi has it all figured out!

Inspired by the works of Piet Mondrian, two passionate designers Branimira Ivanova and Desislava Ivanova created interior design for an apartment that seems to represent the mind and imagination of the controversial artist.

The apartment looks like ‘Composition with Red Blue and Yellow’ itself, representing the colors which were used in this painting – red, blue, yellow and the inevitable black and white.

On all surfaces of the apartment, there are folded lines and geometric shapes that were used in the works of the Dutch artist.

The interesting part is that the perception of space changes according to the point of view.

From one point of view, it seems to be drawn in 2D, however, from the other it seems to have no end.

Branimira Ivanova and Desislava Ivanova designed an open layout that features different zones for each function that are united with lines to perfectly draw your eye around them.

They used black elements in order to ground the space as a passive color and also white elements to activate the other colors and make them ‘pop’.

The whole apartment looks very spacious and aesthetic. Wouldn’t be wonderful to live here?

Cool looking, but you can't have a messy significant other if you live in it. Or kids. Or pets. Or yourself, really. Not to mention, the furniture looks uncomfortable. And cold. And impersonal. Yeah, just leave it empty, and move it to MoMA
I like it....but I would NOT like to navigate that floor if I had too much wine with dinner....
Not even while being sober. Did you see how many steps and stairs there are, without railing? I would break my neck within 5 minutes.

Wow! Looks amazing! It looks like a piece of art. I imagine entering it wood feel like entering a Mondrian painting. (But I'm not sure I'd want to really live in it - to easy to slip and fall or get injured some other way in it; and with those colors, shapes and materials it's not my style anyway, at least not to live in......also, I figure cleaning dust etc. wouldn't be hard but fingerprints, handprints etc. would be too visible)
"Yeah, I'm looking for a nice two bedroom apartment close to the city that will induce constant migraines."
Ew, 100% no..too sterile and migraine-inducing. I could never feel at home there
I feel like i would fall down in like 5 minutes within stepping in. No thank you.
