As we already know, you are a passionate about the luxury furniture’s world. But we don’t know how it all began. So how and why did you get into the luxury furniture’s market? 

Julia Danilova: Yes, indeed, we are passionate about luxury furniture, lighting and décor. We are delighted with all the things that stir imagination, rise mood, and we want to create interiors, which are appropriate to the wishes of our customers. Everything started with an interest in the industry and the more brands we get to know, the more we understand that we are not impressed by mass products. We are interested in exclusive and interesting high-quality products made with love.

Julia Danilova: Yes, of course! We were happy to start our partnership with brands of Menina Design group. These brands have fascinated us at the first sight for their freshness and novelty, originality and individuality. We believe that Delightfull, Koket, Boca do Lobo, Brabbu are the new trend today. Original and unique – each brand has its own style and impresses at the first sight!

Love Happens: Choose the best pieces to compose a project can be the secret to getting the best overall result. Although it seems easy, this is a delicate task and needs full attention on time to execute it. How do you select which pieces and brands will be part of the catalog of your store?
Julia Danilova: Of course, while creating a project, you must choose the best of the best things and the most interesting manufacturers. That is when the result is good. It seems an easy task, but it requires a lot of attention. We select these items and brands on our own taste. We imagine what we would choose for ourselves, for our homes and apartments. You always wish the best for yourself and choose the brands of exceptional quality, progressive design and practicality.

Love Happens: Most of your customers are probably Interior Designers, and for professionals it is always easier to choose which pieces will be included in a project. However, when the issue is all about decoration, many who comes to your store are amateurs who are also passionate about decoration. And sometimes these clients need some wise advices. Do you have some tips for those who don’t know well how to start a challenge like this?
Julia Danilova: Customers, who start to create their house or apartment, are not usually professional designers. In such cases, I would certainly advise to ask for professional help. Because when it comes to planning and building, you cannot do this without specialists. A professional has the experience, which will allow avoiding many mistakes and difficulties, to save time and effort of the customer. However, of course, the customer should actively participate in the whole process, because only he knows what interior will be comfortable for him. The joint positive work of a designer and a client is a guarantee of a successful interior design!

Love Happens: At last but not least, in your opinion, which brands cannot be forgotten in a decorating project for this project to be a remarkable one?
Julia Danilova: I am inspired by the Delightfull lighting, beautiful and womanly things by Koket, items from Boca do Lobo collection, each of which is a true master peace. I love interior items with special appeal from Brabbu and, of course, new fantastic children’s rooms Circu! They make you smile and be happy as a child, and this is the best emotions that raise your mood and make you enjoy life.
