"苏联留下了大量基本上不为西方所知的设计遗产。与苏联时期的建筑和平面设计不同，这一时期的室内设计尚未得到彻底研究。本书首次对苏联的室内设计进行了全面概述，从建构主义作品和具有革命性意义的先锋派作品到晚期的现代主义作品。

Kristina Krasnyanskaya和Alexander Semenov基于大量的研究并利用了直到最近才开放查看的档案，记录了苏联七十年的室内设计。他们证明了铁幕背后的设计师，建筑师和制造商的作品虽然经常被质疑单调乏味，但实际上却包含了各种原创风格。20世纪20年代的标志是在国立艺术学校Vkhutemas进行大胆的探索和实验，并出现了诸如建构主义，理性主义和至上主义之类的重叠运动。20世纪30年代带来了苏联艺术装饰风格和斯大林帝国风格，产生了一些苏联最**的建筑。20世纪50年代后期，斯大林去世后，随着实用主义家具的大规模生产（以适应住房开发中的小公寓），现代主义出现了。20世纪60年代标志着苏联室内设计的黄金时代，而20世纪70年代新一代设计师的大多数有远见的作品一直未被完成。

The Soviet Union left behind a vast design heritage that is largely unknown in the West. Unlike Soviet-era architecture and graphic design, interior design from this period has not been thoroughly investigated. For the first time, this book offers a comprehensive survey of Soviet interior design from constructivism and the revolutionary avant-garde to late modernism.

Based on extensive research and drawing on archives that were until recently inaccessible, Kristina Krasnyanskaya and Alexander Semenov document seven decades of interior design in the Soviet Union. They demonstrate that, while often discredited as monotonous, the work of designers, architects, and manufacturers behind the Iron Curtain in fact comprises a remarkable variety of original styles. The 1920s were marked by bold exploration and experimentation at state-run art and technical school Vkhutemas and by overlapping movements such as constructivism, rationalism, and suprematism. The 1930s brought Soviet art deco and Stalinist Empire style, which produced some of the Soviet Union’s most iconic buildings. In the late 1950s, after Stalin’s death, modernism emerged with functionalist furniture mass-produced to fit small apartments in housing developments. The 1960s marked the Golden Age of Soviet interior design, while most of the visionary work of a new generation of designers in the 1970s remained unrealized.

With more than three hundred color illustrations and a wealth of previously unpublished material, Soviet Design will become the definitive reference on the subject.
