New items have been added to the Friendly collection:

a sofa, a coffee table and an armchair. All of them are made in a friendly style that is characteristic of this collection.

The Duoo collection was created together with Zegen in 2018-2022.

The duoo collection is an author’s reflection of Japanese culture, and an attempt on an emotional level, through the form of objects, to convey one’s vision and enthusiasm. A pair of samurai swords “Daisho” became the basic idea, for the realization of which the duality of the material – wood and metal – was also chosen. Translated from Japanese, the name “Daisho” means “big-small”, we can trace this in the collection. Some of the element...

The Friendly chair organically complements the Friendly collection

It is built on the same principles as the entire line of furniture. It is slim, minimalist, with a character that is inherent in the entire line of the Friendly collection. The chair has a metal frame with dynamically inclined rear legs, an upholstered seat and back. Wooden armrests give it a more confident sound and ease of movement. Also, the wood of the armrests refers us to the tradition of using natural materials in the production of furniture.

ZEGEN company in cooperation with Ukrainian designer Andrey Mohyla presents a new collection called DUOO.
A pair of samurai swords Daishō became the main idea, for the embodiment of which the principle of duality of the material was chosen – wood and metal, and two colors of veneer.

Translated from Japanese, the name Daishō means “big – small”, it can be traced in the collection. Some of the elements of the ruler consist of large and small objects. For example, there is a table where a small wooden shelf is located above a large wooden surface. In general, furniture recreates the spirit and style of traditional Japanese houses with a desire for minimalism of forms.

Now the furniture of the company Zegen can be purchased in their online store. This is a new collection of modern furniture from the Ukrainian designer Pavel Vetrov. In 2016, the GRID line was awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2016.

“Servant” interior has been created out of communal apartment elements. “Loft” style was taken by us as the main idea. Decoration elements and interior materials play up and stylize life situations has a certain period of existence of the “big country”. It is a so-called communal mode of life where there is a common corridor, a common kitchen, a common bathroom. People named it “Aquarium”. All the people are together, everything is in front of everyone. Everybody knows what is being occurred with one another; everybody uses the things of others: kettles, bowls, glasses, books everything is common.

House of sand. Nowadays house is for present people which unite the latest civilization benefits and love of virgin beauty of nature in their lives. They need a space where there is no any extra thing, where there is everything necessary for a comfy life.

“NM House” journal asked Andrey Mohyla to make a review in the category “Shopping with a designer”. He had to describe the workshops of the international designers and to find the furniture items which he would place in his own house.

“Saloon” journal looked into the behind the scenes of our studio when we were working on one of the most interesting private objects during design creation. Here there is an advantageous location of a house, marvellous views through the windows, ideal general concept understanding of both a designer and a customer, no restrictions, and light border in experimentalism; and we can’t overstep this border. All these factors have allowed our studio to create ideal space for living and recreation.

It’s straight talk about style and stylization, about these concepts replacement in the present-day design. He speaks about principal otherness in decor of private and commercial interiors, and about “smart” design in each of them. He also thinks about architectural future of Cherkasy city with competent and professional approach to the city design.

PinWin organized a competition on 28 November, 2013 in Moscow. They reward the best designers, architects and decorators according to “Ru.Net” network users and experts. Andrey Mohyla won in the nomination “Best Restaurant, Cafe, Bar” where he presented his Yoshi Fujivara Restaurant Project.

Andrey Mohyla became an award winner of ” UKRAINIAN DESIGN The Very Best Of” in the nomination “Interior Design”; he was an author of the Eco House project. House interior is interesting in its combination of natural materials such as wood, leather, stone, metal and glass.

Present Ukrainian housing must combine functionality, comfort and style. And it’s necessary to focus not on the modern foreign design journals and magazines but on a human body who will live in it and his needs. This process includes both creation of up-today’s author’s furniture and general approach to interior design. Only this way could form special, really Ukrainian style in design in future.
