Interior designer Dmitry Reutov doesn’t shy away from color. On the contrary, he strives to incorporate it in his designs, designing home interiors that aren’t intended for the faint of heart.
“When creating interiors, I always turn to nature, asking myself what it would look like in nature,” he told Sixtysix Magazine. “Even when I look at plastic as a modern man-made material, I associate it with nature. I can relate transparent plastic to ice.”
Though based in Russia, his work takes him around the globe, with his schedule increasingly tight. Since 2007, Reutov runs his own architectural and construction company, with his studio conducting projects of varying complexity from residential interiors to business spaces. These projects are carried out with his own team of builders.
Reutov explains that as his work varies, so does his day to day. He usually starts off his day with some decision making: how to make things, who’s going where, etc. Then there’s purchase orders, site inspections, and endless meetings with clients, construction workers, and contractors. Still, he makes sure to leave space for inspiration. “I always spare myself some days for pure creativity because, at the end of a day, I am creating all the projects myself,” he says.
“I don’t call it work,” adds Reutov. “This is a process for me, a process I love. I’m solving problems. Seven days a week.” Join him on his creative journey via his Instagram page.
