Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the semiotics and projecting ideology born within the early 20th century Russian avant-garde movement. V. Kandinsky, M. Larionov, P. Filonov, M. Matiushin, K. Malevich, V. Tatlin were the first artists to step away from representational painting and lay the foundations for nonobjective art. But it was Malevich who applied the new radical approach to three-dimensional art forms and architecture introducing a new form of artistic expression released from the constraints of objectivity. Devoid of meaning, the Supremacists form served to create a new reality on the basis of modular approach both in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional arts and design. Thus, the foundations for a new international art language were laid, making artistic form a universal symbol, and the Suprematist order spread, widely reproduced, closely studied and analyzed. The Suprematist basic forms have been used to create various objects in the field of architecture and design. Seen in this light, the legacy of the early 20th-century art greatly contributes to the vision of design nowadays and shows its prospects, broadening artists’ horizons.
