    Description

    Derived from the Ukrainian word for “freedom,” Volyk embodies a spirit of life-affirming vitality and untamed authenticity. This series of animistic benches by designer Victoria Yakusha celebrates raw beauty through minimal, soulful forms that echo ancient traditions while embracing modern sustainability.

    Hand-sculpted from an eco-conscious material using a technique once employed in traditional Ukrainian wall-finishing, each piece is infused with cultural heritage and artisanal craftsmanship. The primitive yet poetic design reflects Yakusha’s philosophy of “live design”, where objects carry emotional resonance, bridging past and present through functional art.

    With their free-spirited character and organic strength, Volyk benches transform interiors into spaces of connection, grounding modern life in ancestral wisdom and timeless design.

    Hand-sculpted in the author’s signature sustainable material Ztista — a blend of paper, clay, hay, and other live elements conceived to one day return to nature. Wooden frame.

    Established in 2014, FAINA stands as a testament to Ukraine's transformative socio-cultural landscape, anchoring itself deeply in the nation's rich heritage while propelling forward with contemporary Ukrainian design. Embracing the ethos of "live design," FAINA heralds each collection with nature's own rhythm, releasing creations twice yearly, in alignment with the Winter and Summer solstices. These milestones mark days of natural rejuvenation, encapsulating the brand's commitment to renewal and growth. Each piece from the FAINA collection is meticulously handcrafted by skilled local artisans, ensuring authenticity at every step. 2018 saw FAINA venture into a groundbreaking project, the “Land inspires” design expedition, an initiative aimed at spotlighting the vast cultural tapestry of Ukraine. Dive deeper into the journey [here]. Expanding its global footprint, 2019 marked the inauguration of a FAINA residential showroom in Brussels, Belgium, under the aegis of Yakusha Design. Today, the studio carves its niche internationally, undertaking both private and commercial endeavors, all while championing a sustainable, "live design" ethos. At the heart of FAINA is Victoria Yakusha, a Ukrainian-born architect and designer, the visionary behind YAKUSHA studio, and the soul of the live design FAINA collection. A mother to four and a relentless advocate for Ukrainian culture and traditions, Victoria has sculpted a distinct narrative in the design world, forging a unique style she fondly dubs as 'live minimalism'.
