The International Association of Design Specialists (INASDS) has announced the entry of one of the brightest and most sought-after designers in the world of furniture, Alevtina Grishina, into the Honorary Residents. This important event in the design world highlights not only Alevtina’s professionalism, but also the influence she had on the development of object design, especially in the field of creating unique console tables. These products have become real works of art, incorporating the harmony of aesthetics, functionality and craftsmanship, and also reflect the most current trends in design.
Talent and innovation: console tables as not just furniture, but elements of art
Console tables created by Alevtina Grishina have long been a hallmark of her design style. But it is important to note that for her, the console is not just furniture, but a form of expression of her creative idea. Inspired by the interaction of different textures and materials, Alevtina creates something more than just functional objects with each project — she embodies individuality and style in each product. According to Alevtina, an important aspect of her work is not only practicality, but also aesthetics, which can become a source of joy and inspiration for a person.
Her work is especially relevant in light of current design trends, a combination of uniqueness and a variety of styles. Alevtina is not afraid to experiment with materials and styles, which allows her to create consoles that not only harmoniously fit into any interior, but also become its bright accents. Her works embody the main principles of modern design — versatility and sophistication.
The evolution of style: from minimalism to bright and saturated images
Initially, when Alevtina just started her journey in the world of design, her works were restrained, made in classic colors — white, black, beige. These consoles were simple and elegant, and their versatility made it easy to fit into any interior. But over time, she felt the need to develop further and create something more than just monochrome furniture elements.
The process of self-expression and the desire for new challenges pushed her to search for non-standard solutions and open new horizons in design. Inspired by modern artistic practice and the uniqueness of each project, Alevtina boldly began using bright colors, complex textures and decorative elements that have become her hallmarks. Alevtina’s console tables are no longer just functional objects, but full-fledged art objects in which material and form are intertwined in a unique design solution.
New approaches: the synergy of carpentry and decorative techniques
One of the most important aspects of Alevtina Grishina’s work is her unique approach to combining carpentry with various decorative techniques. First of all, it is working with wood. The master uses various methods of decoration: craquelures, patination, aging, metal imitations, frescoes, as well as work with sheet and liquid enamel, which allows you to create products that look like antique, but have modern qualities and functionality.

A distinctive feature of Alevtina’s creative approach is her ability to mix carpentry and restoration techniques, which makes her console tables unique. In the process of creating products, Alevtina uses multilayer coatings, special compositions for aging wood, which allows not only to preserve the strength of the product, but also to give it the appearance of a vintage or even antique object.

Design victory: a blue table with a pattern based on the “Strawberry Thief”
One of the key projects that significantly influenced the development of her career was a blue console table with a pattern based on the famous work of William Morris “Strawberry Thief”. This table became a symbol of her brand and marked the beginning of widespread recognition. It has become a real masterpiece in the world of object design, as it combines not only artistic beauty, but also functionality, and also inspires owners to create unique interiors where every detail matters.

Alevtina tells how one of the customers bought a console with a picture of parrots to harmoniously complement her collection. And another client, who had a Buddha statue, could not find a suitable place for it for a long time, until he saw a table, which, as she later said, literally brought this object to life. Such responses from clients inspire Alevtina to continue her work, because her works do not just serve as decor, they become a part of people’s lives, filling their homes with comfort and harmony.
Social media as a source of inspiration and learning
Alevtina actively uses social media to share her knowledge and experience with a wide audience. She blogs, conducts online workshops and training courses on decorating furniture and creating unique interior items. These courses have become popular because they help many people discover their creative potential, master new techniques and create their own masterpieces. Alevtina not only shares her experience, but also creates a space for communication with like-minded people, supporting and inspiring creativity.

Recognition and success
The entry of Alevtina Grishina into the Honorary Residents of the International Association of Design Specialists is a recognition of her unique talent and huge contribution to the development of subject design. Her console tables have become a symbol of an innovative approach, a fusion of various techniques and styles. These works are not just furniture, but works of art that bring brightness and individuality to any space.
Alevtina continues to develop her style, explore new possibilities and create unique products that attract the attention and delight art connoisseurs around the world. Her works are always in demand, and each new work becomes not just a design solution, but a real accent in the interior, which carries warmth and sincerity.
