The Barvinok side table is inspired by the periwinkle flower, one of the cultural symbols of Ukraine. The Periwinkle (or “Barvinok” in Ukrainian) represents transformation, joyful vitality, and the enduring essence of existence, and is considered the herald of spring.
Shaped like five petals, the stainless steel table has a blue hue that runs down the base in a gradient created by the heat treatment of the steel. These details reflect the structure and bright celestial color of the periwinkle flower.
Inspiration
As the brand is rooted in Ukraine, the studio wanted to create an object inspired by their culture, subtly translating the combination of gentleness and strength.
Often inspired by nature, this time FURN OBJECTS went to explore our roots, deriving inspiration from the cultural heritage of Ukraine. This table, shaped like the “barvinok” flower, tells a story of a well-balanced character, combining strength and determination with serenity and peace. We translated it by turning metal into the gentle shape of five petals and using fire to reach the soft gradient effect.
Most often used as a coffee table, Barvinok will also make a great bedside table, as well as a sculpture displaying your favorite books. When polished, the table’s surface resembles a mirror, as if reminding us that strength and life force are always present within.
Manufacturing
Each of the Barvinok tables is polished and fire-finished by hand by Ukrainian artisans in Odesa. The effect of shimmering colors on metal is a result of the fire treatment that gives a unique pattern to every piece. Each item is stamped with the studio’s hallmark and serial number and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The tables are made from stainless steel, an extremely durable material that will last for years. The table is 100% recyclable, we have not used any additional details from other materials.
