Characteristics
Due to the war, many Ukrainians lost their homes and had to arrange their lives in temporary places of residence. The Roots of Home collection has an associative resemblance to an ancient Ukrainian hut, where the lampshade resembles a roof with a terracing of straw or shingles covered in “tyruvannia” technique. “Tyr” is an oil product, which was extracted in the Carpathian Mountains, with a high capacity of paraffin. Because of this kind of finishing the wooden roof plates obtain a black colour. Roots of Home collection consists of the small and middle table lamps and a floor lamp. The lamp top is made of a metal frame, homespun canvas and dyed rye straw. The base has the shape of a truncated cone and is inlaid with dyed rye straw in the marquetry technique. The shape of the lamps has a modern look so that the lamps fit into the interiors of the present, but ideologically they are immersed in the ancient origins of our nation
