Serhii Makhno will participate in Paris Design Week

Within the concept of the Ukrainian stand the studio will present the concept of “Transformation of Silence” in two locations at once: Les Docks, Cité de la Mode et du Design and in Ukrainian Cultural Center (22 Avenue de Messine).

• “To create art we need to learn to see it. I visited hundreds of different exhibitions, museums, and galleries. And I can tell that we have what to show to the world. Every day we work to make Ukrainian art known», Serhii Makhno, the founder and head of the studio says.

The second year in a raw Creaheart and Prostir 86 are the organizers of the Ukrainian display.

• “This year we will bring the pieces that can be used for certain domestic purposes or to decorate your house, and in both cases, they create and transform the atmosphere for people not just to exist, but to live a full life”, Anastasia Biletska, the art-director of Creaheart says.

The collection of pieces by MAKHNO Studio named “Transformation of the silence” includes 5 author’s items: tiles TETRAPOD and FLAPJAK,  chair SIDA, lamps VOLCANO and ZERNO. The story of TETRAPOD wall tiles starts with a block of reinforced concrete that protects a cost from waves. The medium weight of the real one is two tones. Our designers haven’t managed to place it into the interior and have created their own instead.

The tile FLAPKACK destroys stereotypes on standard tiles: the tile is square and flat; the tile is just a décor; the place of the tile is in the bathroom. Both tiles are Red Dot Design Award 2017 winners.

The minimalistic chair SIDAI of black mat steel is the contrast of simplicity and complexity. The lamp VOLCANO is the only volcano in the world that is safe and can be placed at home. Holding its breath it is waiting for night to come when the lava of light will overflow again.

ZERNO is the only lamp created in non-standard collaboration with nature. The designer has taken several seeds and combined them. The lamp was made of copper that was oxidized and got a unique colour with light and dark gradients.
