Originally trained as an architect, Orlov’s design process always began with tiny concept models. Now, she uses those same skills — in addition to extensive research of classic and iconic spaces — to build miniature vignettes in metal and found objects. Orlov also uses fragments of architectural salvage, bicycle parts, copper sheet, mesh and rivets, mirror, aluminum, my handmade miniature paper books, and miniature glasses and bottles. Her work merges classic old-world designs with industrialism.
