FAINA is a Ukrainian design brand founded by architect and designer Victoria Yakusha, whose practice explores the relationship between contemporary design, cultural heritage, and natural materials. Established in 2014, the brand is guided by Yakusha’s philosophy of live design, creating collectible furniture, lighting, and objects that reinterpret Ukrainian vernacular traditions through a contemporary lens. Working with clay, wood, willow, linen, and other natural materials, FAINA develops timeless pieces distinguished by sculptural forms, tactile surfaces, and artisanal craftsmanship.

Rooted in a deep respect for nature and Ukrainian cultural identity, FAINA collaborates with skilled artisans to preserve traditional techniques while embracing a refined contemporary aesthetic. Through thoughtful material exploration and a commitment to sustainable making, the brand creates enduring works that celebrate authenticity, resilience, and the evolving dialogue between heritage, craftsmanship, and modern design.
