Faina Design Transforms a Mythical Forest Spirit into Furniture Creations

In the untouched, moss-covered forests and ancient swamps of Polesia, a mystical spirit known as Grun’ is brought to life—not through mythology, but through the creative designs of Victoria Yakusha. As the founder of Faina Design, this Ukrainian designer introduced her latest collection at Design Miami 2024. Her work seamlessly blends her connection to nature, Ukrainian heritage, and passion for animistic design. The Grun’ collection includes two hand-carved tables, two sculptural floor lamps, a bench, an upholstered bed, a chair, and an armchair. Each piece is a testament to Yakusha’s poetic vision, with special editions of the chair and armchair that are especially striking.
