Okinawa, Wall Object
DROZHDINIPrice upon request
In creating this glass panel, the artist was guided by the fundamental principles of Japanese aesthetics: simplicity (kanso), asymmetry (fukinsei), understated beauty (shibumi), naturalness (shizen), subtle profundity (yūgen), freedom from convention (datsuzoku), tranquility (seijaku), and the meaningful use of empty space (ma).
Each panel embodies a sense of harmony with nature. For the artist, glass is a living material—its texture, transparency, and interaction with light give it a unique vitality. Through asymmetry and organic variation, even the simplest form acquires depth, character, and quiet intrigue. Unlike symmetry, which often feels fixed and predictable, asymmetry invites contemplation and leaves room for discovery.
The artist believes that an object should never be burdened with unnecessary details. Instead, each work is built around a single expressive gesture—an element strong enough to capture attention yet restrained enough to leave space for reflection. The result is an object that offers calm, encourages imagination, and invites personal interpretation.

From collection
Okinawa is a collection that explores an architectural approach to object design through the lens of Japanese aesthetics. Rooted in the belief that true value lies in simplicity, the collection combines clean geometric forms, organic textures, and subtle asymmetry to create sculptural objects defined by balance and restraint. Inspired by principles such as naturalness, tranquility, and the meaningful use of space, each piece reflects a dialogue between material, light, and form.

Drozhdini is a brand founded by Aleksey Drozhdin — an artist and designer who works with glass in his own unique technique. The designer has participated in an exhibition at the Beijing Museum of Contemporary Art and became a finalist in the International Art Glass Competition Milano Vetro-35, organized by The Museums of the Sforza Castle of Milan in collaboration with the collector Sandro Pezzoli. The winner’s works have become part of the museum’s collection.
Aleksey Drozhdin handcrafts artistic pieces from glass in combination with wood and metal. Recognizable features of his signature style include asymmetry, organic handcrafted forms, contrasting textures and materials, and meticulous glasswork. Through his work, the artist aims to preserve the traditions of glassmaking and infuse artisanal craftsmanship with his unique design.
The philosophy of Drozhdini is the fusion of multiple design languages into a unified whole. The wall object embodies the principles of constructivism, Scandinavian architecture, and the aesthetics of natural beauty. The idea is inspired by Japanese culture, where wood has been perceived as a special symbol of life with sacred significance from time immemorial. The highlight of this collection is the combination of glass texture with wood.
Drozhdini’s sculptural objects emerge from a deep engagement with material and emotion. Aleksey Drozhdin works intuitively, handcrafting each piece in his own technique that brings glass into dialogue with wood and metal. His forms are asymmetrical, tactile, and richly layered— shaped by contrasts between transparency and density, roughness and polish, precision and spontaneity.
Central to his approach is the desire to preserve the spirit of traditional glassmaking while reimagining it through a contemporary lens. Each work feels both raw and refined, echoing the emotional memory of place and time without replicating it. Through this balance of tension and harmony, Drozhdini creates objects that are not just seen, but felt— inviting quiet contemplation and lasting resonance.
