The armchair's design and construction reflect Ishkildina's commitment to quality and attention to detail.

The Renaissance armchair was conceptualized in March 2011 in Russia. Ishkildina's design philosophy is rooted in the belief that "all new is forgotten old." This is evident in the Renaissance armchair, where she revives an ancient design and gives it a modern twist.

The Renaissance armchair is not just a piece of furniture; it's a work of art. It has been recognized with the Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2018, a testament to Ishkildina's design prowess.
