In Karen Shadrin 's curation process, each piece is carefully selected to tell a story of materiality and precision. These three materials form the backbone of modern-industrial design. Karen Shadrin builds her design language around the encounter between cold material (concrete and iron) and warm material (wood). It is a dialogue that creates visual interest in each of Karen Shadrin's projects.
Exposed concrete provides stability and roughness, the iron provides the thin, graphic line, and the wood softens everything and brings soul. Karen Shedrin emphasizes that it is important to maintain proportions: too much concrete can feel too cold, so combining parquet or woodwork is critical to balancing the space.
