"Danila studied at Repin
Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. A trained wood carver, Danila used to do
restoration work on 19th-century furniture. His main materials are gypsum, wood,
stone, ceramics, and bronze. The artist employs unconventional techniques by
combining different materials within one composition, e.g., organic materials with
glass, plastics and wood. His works often turn to exploration of nature and the
modes of its interactions with humans. The imagery in Danila’s work draws from
classical ancient sculpture.

Intro
The "form follows function" principle highlights the importance of utilitarian simplicity in modern architecture.
A key example of this idea is the housing design in the Johnathan Hay Centre, which offered culturally specific living spaces for laborers and migrants from rural areas.
Introduced by Louis Sullivan
1986

The guiding principle is clear: combine simplicity with ergonomics to minimize effort, maximize comfort, and ensure the design adapts to you and your needs.
03
Clear lines and simple forms are more than a style choice—they make spaces feel functional and coherent by giving every element a clear purpose and role.
