The stork is a symbol of new life. In Slavic culture, to catch a stork means to get the right to continue the family line. It is always a story for two. Like the lamp, uniting people, their feelings, expectations and emotions around a point of light. This elegant light fixture is built in the philosophy of the classic art object. Its symbolic qualities transform the functional features of the lamp into a story about happiness.

Inna Pedan was destined to work with shapes. A student of renowned Kharkiv artist and designer Ihor Ostapenko, she started her own studio right after graduating from Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts in 2003. A true master of a form, Inna is an innovator of furniture design and creates objects that reflect her inner personality. With an abundance of original shapes and unconventional approaches, Inna’s works combine utilitarian aesthetics with philosophical undertones that are intertwined in lines and curves. Her objects are characterised by a distinct plasticity and constant shape explorations. She is also active in the teaching field being a lecturer at her Kharkiv alma mater, as well as working with children aged from 6 to 15 years in her studio.

Memories of the Future
This sculptural object handcrafted from bamboo fibre and metal is created with a technique of free design. The design is based on open lines, which model a functioning form with the help of several curves. Its potential is quite wide: from a conventional fruit vase to a still life piece.

For You
This sculptural form, handcrafted from strips of plywood, is an example of universal design. Its visual properties manifest themselves in different ways, depending on the environmental objectives set by the designer. As a hanging screen or panel, the object focuses its plastic potential on the texture of the material, the rhythmic pattern of the wooden 'canvas', and the light and shade features of its interaction with the interior.

Rain or Snow
This sculptural piece consists of two components: a horizontal plane "washbasin" and a bionic "faucet". The components coexist within the common emotional mood, where the expectation of action anticipates the reaction of the form, the material, the viewer. The root, an allusion to splashing water, crashes against the flat surface of the basin. Its morphology emphasizes the regularity of the form's return to its original state.

Bathing the Horse
Active sculptural objects occupy a special place in modern design. Handcrafted from beech wood, plywood, leather and metal, Bathing the Horse is another allusion to childhood. As a wooden rocking horse for adults, this object is clear to use. Its morphological simplicity and the integrity of the construction are unquestionable.
