Ukrainian designer Mykola Gulyk of Design Studio Baraban+ won the ‘Art Space’ Award in November with the incredible ‘BO’ project. An international panel of judges – led by SBID (Society of British and International Design) President Vanessa Brady OBE – recognised the stunning project from a short-list featuring Armourcoat surface finishes. The designer specified Armourcoat polished plaster to create a Tuscan style throughout the interior. Working with local agent Faktura UA, Baraban+ used the material to great effect for wall and ceiling finishes – including the swimming pool and bathroom areas. The Award was presented to MyKola by Armourcoat CEO Guy Whitehead at the prestigious Art Space event, which is held every two years in Kiev and attract the country’s leading designers and architects.
The SBID also opened a representative office in Kiev last month to act as a channel to promote accredited designers in Ukraine, and to participate in seminars, round tables and other events in this field. SBID Ukraine works to recognise Ukrainian design professionals through accreditation, as well as building a positive image of Ukraine.
