Ironic Wooden Sculptures

A unique art project that combines elements of design and conceptual art creates original and playful sculptures. These works attract attention with their creativity and unusual forms, making them interesting to both art connoisseurs and the general public. The project promotes a cross-disciplinary approach to art, inspiring other artists and designers to experiment with their own work.

The brand's owners, Damir and Ksenia, specialize in various types of wood that are not painted, but rather treated with oil. The unique colors of the pieces are achieved through the use of various wood species and light tinting. However, the primary focus is on meaning and narrative: the artists create works featuring well-known characters and familiar themes, giving them their own cozy interpretation. This approach makes each product not only aesthetically pleasing, but also filled with emotional content.
