SET DESIGNER
natali lobanova
i am a set designer and decorator from Russia, and I make fantastic dreamscapes come to life.
It wasn't always like this though…
After I finished high school, I traveled a really long way from my hometown of Vladivostok to Moscow (if you look at the map, you will understand what I mean :) to study economics and, subsequently, industrial design.
I didn't wind up working in either profession in the end - nevertheless, the knowledge and skills I gained stuck with me, helping me in all aspects of my work, and giving me the ability to look at things from different perspectives, with a more creative eye.
Instead of becoming an economist or industrial designer, I chose to pursue a career in the event industry and it has been the greatest journey of my life.
I got involved in lots of projects and spent a significant amount of time working at massive international music festivals like Kazantip (Ukraine) and Epizode (Vietnam). I also spent 8 years at Gipsy Music Agency.
artists I have work with
Carl Cox, Solomun, Luciano, Dubfire, Tale Of Us, Marcell Dettmann, Dixon, Jamie Jones, Peggy Gou, and Richie Hawtin.
My journey in set design kicked off when I started trying my hand as a production designer, building sets for small commercials and music videos. Soon enough, I was taking on bigger projects for club events. No one could stop me!
I'm all about bold, unique solutions, and love combining offbeat materials and techniques
to turn the designs I make into spectacular, tangible pieces - installations that give everyone around them a huge rush of emotion.
i am a dreamer.
Creating incredible worlds, theatrical spaces and show stopping objects is my passion.
I specialize in crafting awe-inspiring spaces and experiences.
It brings me a lot of joy to watch my sketches come to life
and bring joy to the audience.
