Saint-Petersburg-based designer Yaroslav Misonzhnikov shares his recent work - nixie-tube clocks on marble and wood platforms commissioned by Past Indicator brand.
All of their clocks have nixie tubes, that were popular in the USSR era. While working on the new design of the clock, Yaroslav was inspired by an architectural element — diamond-pointed rustication. The clock, that was named Saturn-5 is made of natural marble and is serially manufactured.
St. Petersburg-based Yaroslav Misonzhnikov has designed a clever way to turn those simple sockets into minimalist chandeliers. Palka, which is ‘stick’ in Russian, is a wooden system that becomes a support bracket to hold two, three, or five of those corded sockets in place to form a pendant chandelier.
"Palka" project was first shown as a system for sconces at the Stockholm Furniture Fair in 2016 but now it has been developed as a system for pendant lamps. Many people buy lamps with ceramic sockets, but then they face certain limitations during the process of installing.
Using the same module and the corresponding adapter, you can independently create a two-, three- and five-lamp pendant lamp. To fix a wire a special design has been developed: the holes for the wire are made at an angle, which allows you to bend the wire and fix it in the desired position.
The project is produced under the own brand of designer «Misonzhnikov». This constructor is available in two types of wood: oak and mahogany. Wires and bulbs are bought separately.

Yaroslav Misonzhnikov took part in an unique project: the aim of the project was the reincarnation of folk crafts. Five Russian designers (we will cover all projects soon) started a collaboration with five Russian manufactories specialized in Khokhloma painting, Gzhel ceramics, Zhostovo painted metal and Vologda lace, famous all over the World as symbols of Russian Folk Art.

On the latest Behance Portfolio Reviews organized by Designcollector in Saint-Petersburg, young product designer (that's already a rare profession for Russia) Yaroslav Misonzhnikov shown us the lamp called "Ugol" (eng. "Corner"). "Plain form and performance is combined with unique mode of setting it up on a table, by the way already received a patent. All you need is a table angle and board of a standard thickness. A normal working table is usually from 1 to 2,5 cm thick. The lamp is putting on the angle and rests inclined by it’s weight, then the angle between lamp and the table depends on the thickness of the table itself. Ugol means “corner” In Russian language. The object is projected for recently founded by the designer himself Saint-Petersburg producer Imenno-design. The lamp will be realized in a limited edition and released in Saint-Petersburg and Moscow boutiques and also on-line in Imenno-design brand shop in the web."
