Inspired by the wealth of Ukrainian land, RUDA Studio has created an interior object – the Solomia cabinet. Seemingly trapped between the past and the future, it serves as a timeless example. Combining vintage Art Deco stylization with the philosophy of contemporary Ukrainian design, the cabinet was crafted by the studio's founder and designer, Oleksandra Rudenko. Made from oak and adorned with ornaments from rye straw, the cabinet's origin lies in Western Ukraine. There, the 80-year-old grandfather, Orestes, collects straw for our products, carefully sorting them by length and diameter. During this process, the oak frame—the foundation of the cabinet—is created. The countertop undergoes stitching, revealing the texture of the wood. In our workshop, the straw undergoes a staining stage before being intricately inlaid into the cabinet itself. Design brand RUDA Studio was founded in 2017 by Oleksandra Rudenko and Yuriy Vovnyanko. RUDA Studio - Ukrainian artisanal atelier with harvest of Fine Craft Design. In the atelier we create unique household items. The studio seeks to make each project individual and special, focusing on feelings, custom items, and the combination of the historical and the modern. Our creations are inspired by natural materials and ancient craft techniques. Each product has its own function, but is more like an object of art that touches the soul. The vision of interior items encourages us to preserve and actualize our cultural heritage. In our works, we restore knowledge about Ukrainian folklore, pay attention to socially important topics and focus on the interaction between humans and nature. In the studio, objects are created from local materials - brass, copper, clay, straw, algae, trees, and stone.
