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.
