Victoria Yakusha is a Ukrainian designer, artist, architect whose philosophy of 'live design’ holds deep roots in Ukrainian cultural heritage. Since starting her brand of furniture & decor, FAINA, in 2014, she redefines the language of modern Ukrainian design. Centered around the connection to earth and reviving ancient codes, FAINA collections manifest in modern, primitive shapes. Every design piece casts the mystery of hand-crafted creation. Victoria Yakusha collaborates with Ukrainian artisans working with clay, wood, wool and willow vine — living materials native to her home country. Her signature sculptural objects are made of the sustainable Ztista material, designed by Victoria herself to one day return to Nature.
