Marina Bessonova's dialogue focus is on design and research through the use of a multidisciplinary approach: this includes classic, modern and contemporary architecture and interior design (iconic and contemporary spaces), product design, it's role in our life.

During the conversation we will try to find out the answer: How is the architecture related to the interior design and what is the contemporary style of decorating? The role of Italy, France and other countries in the process of designing the architecture and our contemporary lifestyle.

In 2004 Marina started collaborating as an interior stylist and set-designer for many Russian magazines. She was a contributor to the Elle Decoration, Wallpaper magazine, Elle, l'Officiel, Kommersant Style and RBC Style. Due to her artistic path, she has always had a strong interest in different public projects as an interior designer and different set-design projects for fashion and design brands. Marina's projects based upon experimenting, continuous research on colours and materials and the combination between the various contemporary languages in each space. Also she has always been fascinated by the private projects like a part of her professional activities.
