Celebrate the utopianism of Russian avant garde architecture with this silk scarf

Lithuanian design studio Baklažanas has unveiled “The Great Utopia”, a vibrant silk scarf dedicated to the utopian ambitions of Russian avant garde architectural design.

The scarf pays homage both to completed projects — namely Moscow's iconic Shukhov Tower (1920-22), designed by Vladimir Shukhov — and celebrated architectural projects that were never realised: the Flying City by Georgy Krutikov (1928) and the Palace of Soviets by Boris Iofan (1931).
