When the Soviets sent persecuted architects and designers to the gulags, they were careful not to waste their talents. Instead, they set up a system of Sharashka — technical design bureaus where the designers were put to work on state projects within the penal system. These are just some of the nuggets to be found within the hefty new tome Soviet Design: From Constructivism to Modernism This successfully shines a light on the previously neglected history of Soviet interior and furniture design, which it describes as one of the least explored areas of the history of art in the 20th century. The result is a detailed, image-rich account of 60 years of design history from the highly influential constructivism and avant-garde in the s to Soviet art deco, neo classicism and post-war modernism. The book concludes with a look at the mass-production and experimental design of the s and 80s. There is generous illustration of works by plenty of familiar names — Tatlin, Malevich, El Lissitzky, Rodchenko and Melnikov — and plenty more lesser-known names, with discussion of the development of the avant-garde and how the new mass and communal housing typologies drove the design of furniture that was variously standardised and compact, modular, multi-functional and built-in. However, much of this work was unrealised, and the brave new world of rationalism and constructivism was eventually eclipsed by post constructivism, art deco and the pomp of neo classicism.

Iconic Romania or Yugoslavia-made furniture sets proved to be the major storage solutions throughout the ss, the be-all and end-all of a typical Soviet living room. It was a period for teak, walnut or mahogany wood, dull autumn colors and glitzy lacquer in the furniture realm. To serve that central purpose, they boasted panels to hide clothes, compartments with spacious drawers and cabinets to store tons of books, bottles of alcohol, sparkling Czech glassware, porcelain tea sets, trademark blue-and-white Gzhel figurines, plastic toys, endless gifts from relatives, childhood photographs, as well as piles and piles of personal memorabilia. Such furniture actually cost an arm and a leg. Individuals lucky enough to earn 90 rubles a month would line up to purchase their storage system, which actually tended to take up a lot of room space. The coveted stenka was mostly made in East Germany or neighboring Poland and could cost about two times what a family earned in a year which was more than 2, rubles. Varnished furniture had a common place in Soviet households, in addition to the floor lamp and a piano in the living room. Music was a vital aspect of the Soviet public school education. Many parents of young children would go to any ends to buy them a piano and arrange for lessons, even more so if their kids had no musical talent whatsoever.
