The scent of wet soil, primitive, organic forms, the wild spirit of nature. Faina – brand of furniture, lighting, and decor; a sensual expression of contemporary design rooted in Mother Earth and Ukrainian heritage.
Founded in 2014, after the Revolution of Dignity, FAINA represents Ukrainian identity, culture and spirit. Evoking ancient symbols, reviving ancestral crafts, working with live, primeal materials. FAINA's live minimalist design explores a sense of belonging to earth and guides back to the essence.
The omen-like archetypal shapes of design pieces harbour an animistic presence. In the hands of local artisans, each object finds a living soul. Ukrainian history passed on in sustainable collections of live Ukrainian design.
"Like our ancestors, I believe in the spiritual essence of things, the souls of our objects. And it's one of the core elements of what we call live design — creating something that is alive. Something with a spirit", Victoria Yakusha.
