Vitaly Fedorchuk, an inventive Ukrainian designer based in Kyiv, is transforming industrial tape measures into striking, numbered works of art to raise funds for Ukraine’s defense. Each piece in his limited “Special Unit” series is meticulously handcrafted from durable aluminum and stainless steel, blending an industrial aesthetic with purposeful advocacy.

All proceeds from the sales directly support a specific military unit tasked with protecting Ukrainian skies, where Fedorchuk’s friend serves. Due to intense demand, the initial batches of these handcrafted items have rapidly sold out through the artist’s Instagram page, leaving eager supporters waiting for upcoming releases while continuing to contribute through direct donations.
