To make life better

The future is design is artifical intelligence + 3d printing

Milano Isaloni 2014, next will be at Singapore or Dubai

The life, the world..

My style is "Alex Petunin style", I can't say that I have any style but myself. All i do is a result of my perception of reality

Saint-Petersburg, Russia. It's historical city and my design is a protest to the environment i live

First I understand what the Client wants, than I read a lot about the Company, than think, visualize the result and find the answer what I whould design.

The companies should see through work of designer to his soul and values, and if it is exactly what they look for, they must give maximum of freedom for designer - this is the way to great results.

Thinking - mind visualization - drawing - 3ds max - photoshop

Karim Rashid, Zaha Hadid, Ross Lovegrove, Luigi Colani and Anish Kapoor

To love this great profession

positive - all and everything, negative - nothing

To follow the beauty

3d modeling and rendering, sell the talent

Everyday new day job is more important than previous

process of creating 3d shape, beecause it's easy and beautiful
