Furniture from clay and flax makes for pieces that are doused with the aura of boundary-pushing materials. Kiev-based brand Faina sees the opportunity in this and launches a collection that is dedicated to showcasing the functionality and aesthetic properties of these fabrications. Moreover, the fact that they pay homage to Ukranian culture is a welcomed bonus.
When designing the silhouettes of the collection of furniture from clay and flax, Faina also focused on representing "domestic traditions, materials and craft techniques." This notion allows for each piece to bear an interesting element that ties it to Eastern culture and therefore makes for an especially interesting embellishment to the Western space. In addition to all of this, each token of furniture has an enticing primitive aspect to it.
