I've tried to capture the existence of an object and, at the same time, its absence.
This unique project is part of the “microworld” collection. And it is an image of a biological cell with a clear interior application, the same spherical shape of the seat, as well as orthopedic balls is very ergonomic for human use (the seat). In general, there are a lot of positive qualities. Starting from the main aesthetic and ending with usability. The back of a chair can be removed and the spherical seat on legs remains.

The upholstery is made of wool, which does not require unnecessary cleaning and perfectly keeps the heat in a cold atmosphere, and gives it up on hot days.

The future artist/designer was born in the Siberian city of Tomsk in 1991 in a family of doctors and architects. It couldn’t but influence the choice of a future profession. In 2010, he entered the pediatric faculty of the Siberian Medical University. Taras had two passions at the university – biophysics and cartoon animation. So he had a part-time job in a laboratory and also in an architectural bureau, creating interior items and art objects.
In 2013, Taras took part in and eventually won the Moleskine art competition, where he presented his illustrations. After that, art and passion for design began to conquer his soul, giving him an opportunity to constantly experiment and invent something new. In 2014, while taking part in the international design competition A’ Design Award, he discovered new areas in the design which inspired him and in the same year, he showed projects in light fittings at Beijing Design Week 2014. His works were organic and functional. He was able to create natural images with a functionality. From this moment design, artistic activity and biophysics began to merge into a single unity in his mind. Taras created a multidisciplinary workshop where he studied many technologies and techniques for processing materials. Over time, his projects blurred the boundary between visible reality and the hidden natural processes of organisms which he studied at a medical university. That led to prevalence of histological ornaments, molecular images and the living organisms’ colors and shapes in his works.
Between 2014 and 2018, Taras won several design awards such as the A’ Design Award, International Design Award, Skol Design Award and his works were featured at ISaloni in Milan and SaloneSatellite in Moscow. Taras experimented with the visual functionality of an object that is able to change a person’s attitude to certain things. In 2019, he presented his works at the Collectible Fair in Brussels in the Young Designer category. After that he began to collaborate with two famous Moscow galleries of collectible design. At the same time, he starts cooperation with large factories for which he designed unique art collections of interior items. Again, in 2019, his works were shown in two galleries: Cosmoscow, the international exhibition of contemporary art in Moscow, and the collectible design exhibition Russian Antique & Art Fair. Since 2019, there have been numerous publications in magazines (including Vogue, Elle Decoration, Ad, Interior + Design, Interiors The Best, In / Ex, Forbes, Design Mate, The Rouge, Tatler) about an author who uses biological and natural knowledge with a personalization approach in art design projects.
