FUTURISM OF THE PAST

Charlotte Taylor, founder of Maison de Sable and Katia Tolstykh + Fedor Katcuba,
founders of Odd In Shape present their first collaboration, ‘Futurism of the past’
is a series of Villas inspired by dated futurism visions of the 60s and 70s.
Sparked by ‘The Houses of The Future’ 1960s series of illustrations by Charles

Schridde and various vintage interiors, we explored the notion of futurism in architecture through a dated lens. Applying design details from sci fi films of the era,

60s Californian home advertising and artistic visions on the topic we developed
a number of fictional villas in far flung landscapes and locations.

Canyon Villa has the 60s signature thick brown carpet stepping up onto a suspended metallic platform submerged into a rock, a perfect Bond Villains lounge

setting whilst Waterfall Villa plays a better part as the Villains liar concealed
behind the dramatic surrounding landscape. The furnishings throughout the homes
are from a mix notable designers of the period, more contemporary pieces and
some bespoke furnitures designed by us to create an interior atmosphere that is somewhere between dated, current and futurist.
