Twin achievement

  • • Eugene and Alexander are self-taught
  • • They use good quality long-lasting materials
  • • They like mid-century modern style

Eugene and Alexander Chernysh are twin brothers who make wood furniture. The love of handcrafting was cultivated in them by their father. As children, they learned to make simple objects like wooden spoons, cutting boards and pieces of decor. They are very close. When asked why they decided to work together, they reply: “It was never a question, we have always been together. We studied together, served in the army together, we have similar interests.” In 2017, they left their office job to start their own enterprise. They knew they wanted to make something substantial, like furniture. They started in a small garage in the industrial part of town. In 2018, they got a proper workshop. Their work is inspired by nature, people and the works of old and contemporary masters.
