DROZHDINI

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.
