Ukrainian designer Victoria Yakusha, who is the founder of Faina Design, creates the Grun’ collection. It was presented during Design Miami 2024 with influences of her connection to nature and Ukranian roots. The capsule is comprised of two hand-carved tables, two-floor lamps, a chair, an armchair, an upholstered bed, and a bench.
Victoria Yakusha speaks about the design process, noting “To envision the future, we must draw upon the knowledge and wisdom of the past. There are still places on this planet that carry the memories of centuries – living, breathing spaces that appear timeless while continually evolving. These sites embody the essence of the land and reflect a time when people were profoundly rooted in their surroundings, deeply connected to the world around them.”
