Olga Podolskaya graduated from the International School of Design in St. Petersburg and later specialized in interior design at Rhodec in London. Her professional practice spans residential, hospitality, and collectible design, with a strong focus on emotional storytelling through space and objects.
She has worked on several private residences and, in 2018, completed her first hospitality project: a boutique hotel on Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg. Her creative research also extends to landscape and installation design. In 2017, she participated in the “Imperial Gardens of Russia” festival, where her installation Heart of the Garden received the festival’s award.
In 2018, two of her designs—the Lighter 1930 chandelier, produced by Laudarte, and the Boy chest, produced by Cesare Ferrari Group—were selected for the Venice Design exhibition at Palazzo Michiel, held in parallel with the Venice Architecture Biennale. Podolskaya’s design language blends historical references, refined craftsmanship, and contemporary sensibility, resulting in elegant, narrative-driven pieces with a timeless character.
