Elektrozavodskaya Station, Moscow

One of the network system’s most spectacular stations, this 1944-designed building was named after a nearby eclectic light bulb factory thanks to its barrel ceiling, featuring six rows of more than 300 circular incandescent inset lamps, resembling the lights in an operating theatre.

Fonvizinskaya Station, Moscow

The design of this newly-constructed station plays with light and reflections to create a striking, abstract setting. The curved tunnel and lighting design in the station hall reflects onto the highly polished stone floor, creating the illusion of glowing concentric circles. Devoid of figurative imagery, with a stark white and grey colour palette, the two-year-old station hall looks straight of a modern sci-fi film.

Komsomolskaya Station, Moscow

Taking its cues from the highly-decorative stylings of the baroque aesthetic, the 1952 station has a setting fit for royalty. With marble pillars and arched yellow stucco ceilings with plasterwork flourishes, gilded bas-reliefs and circular chandeliers, there are few transport hubs that can rival its old-school opulence. It features a dramatic tin glazed Majolica mural that depicts the early construction of the Moscow Metro, according to Nikolai Vassiliev. Photography: Alexey Narodizkiy

Moscow bar Big Wine Freaks

There’s no confusing what’s on offer inside new Moscow bar, Big Wine Freaks. The freshly opened drinking hole sits close to Kudrinskaya Square on the city’s Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. And don’t let the name fool you – it’s more refined than its name might suggest, with moody, bohemian-inspired interiors designed by Italian practice B-Arch. #moscow #russia #travel #restaurant #interior #interiors

Moscow rental apartment by Crosby Studios

As if its bright blue palette wasn’t enough, the sculptural Louis Kahn-inspired bed helps ensure this is one of Moscow’s more quirky rentals. The interiors were overseen by Crosby Studios founder Harry Nuriev, who says he was given carte blanche over the 57 sq m apartment. He’s put his love of strong, bright colours to powerful effect here, adding liberal amounts of rich blue to contrast the concrete walls and parquet flooring. #moscow #travel #interiors #interiordesign #russia #airbnb

Cooker’s Gourmet Cafe in Moscow

Moscow coffee spot Cooker’s Gourmet Cafe could be straight from a Wes Anderson movie thanks to its pastel shades and symmetrical design. The bistro on central Moscow’s Kuznetsky Most is the brainchild of ‘Volkonsky’ bakery founders Alexander and Stephanie Garez, and Anastasia Nikiforova. They enlisted Russian studio Veter Design & Architecture to craft its instagramable interiors. Photography: Mikhail Loskutov #moscow #russia #restaurant #interiors #interiordesign #design #travel
