Inspired by the cloak-and-dagger drama surrounding [perhaps] temporary Moscow resident Edward Snowden, I offer this bathroom for today's post. In his Saint Petersburg apartment, antiques dealer Sergei Bobovnikov evokes the institutional ambience of a Soviet state-sponsored sports training facility, circa 1930s. Salvaged submarine valves resurface as handles on the shower enclosure; light fixtures from a decommissioned tugboat also find a new identity in the room.
