Loft Interior Designed By Valdas Ozarinskas

Valdas Ozarinskas (1961-2014), one of the most prominent representatives of interdisciplinary art and conceptual architecture in Lithuania, created his home in a radical way, too – using multifunctionality, recycling, and adapting existing industrially produced objects.

“A ship stuck in a slope” – this was the vision the architect had when he first saw the basement apartment he was buying on Šv. Stepono Street. And he fulfilled this vision – from gray marine plywood finishes, iron beams, water motifs, and stainless steel details to the use of factory buttons, massive metal bolts, and other industrial objects in the entirety. Everything is different in this home. No synthetics or mass production.

This space is a work of art in which the architect revived and adapted industrial design objects for a second, different life. Therefore, this interior is full of unusual functional solutions, such as lamps made from tractor headlights or parts of speakers used for ventilation.

Valdas Ozarinskas’ “ship” reflects the artist’s unique approach to interior design, in which he himself later lived. According to the architect, “you want other solutions than “beautiful”, “more beautiful”, “even more beautiful”.
