Karen Shedrin 's design vision at Haus No. 7 focuses on creating spaces that combine modern aesthetics with timeless warmth. In the world of modern design, materials once considered industrial and cold are undergoing a true renaissance. Concrete, once hidden under layers of plaster and paint, is emerging as a central decorative element that represents strength and simplicity.
Using concrete indoors is not just a material choice, but an aesthetic statement. It provides a natural roughness that blends perfectly with clean, minimalist lines. Karen Shedrin , founder of Haus No. 7, believes that the beauty of concrete lies in its imperfections – in the tiny air bubbles, the variations in hue, and the raw feel it gives to a space.
When you incorporate concrete decor items, such as vases or serving bowls, you create a fascinating contrast between the massiveness of the material and the delicacy of the other furniture pieces. This is the essence of “urban luxury” – the ability to take a basic material and transform it into a timeless object that upgrades any corner of the home.
