Design startup based on architectural graphics and ornament.
«Yakov Chernikov: Visions» is a project dedicated to the architectural graphics and visual legacy of Yakov Chernikov. The project is based on an exploration of geometry, symmetry, ornament, and the interplay of architectural forms. These principles are reflected in the book’s design and the original pieces in the collection. The next phase of the project involves creating an independent brand that translates the publication’s visual language into object design, packaging, and communication.
Startup Idea
The startup idea is to transform the visual principles of architectural graphics into a collection of design objects available beyond the book and exhibition space.
The brand unites book design, graphic design, and cultural merchandise. Each object becomes an independent interpretation of the overall visual system, while maintaining a connection to the original project.
The core concept of the project is not simply to narrate about architecture through a book, but to allow interaction with its visual language through objects.
Books on art and architecture often remain confined to reading and study. Yet, graphic principles, ornamentation, and visual imagery can exist in other formats.This project proposes expanding the experience of interacting with architectural heritage through objects that combine aesthetic expressiveness, functionality, and collectible value.
