Faina uses traditional Ukrainian construction methods to form “primitive” lighting collection

Dezeen Showroom: Kyiv-based architect and designer Victoriya Yakusha is celebrating the cultural heritage of her native Ukraine with a lighting collection modelled after sunflowers.

Created for her furniture brand Faina, the Soniah range is a homage to the country’s national flower and includes a sconce, floor and pendant lamp in different heights and sizes.

Each features a sweeping, circular shade that is tilted inquisitively towards the viewer like the flower turns towards to the sun.
