"This is the most time-consuming, the most ancient way of handmade, which originated in Russia in the twelfth century. This is a living tradition that has great potential and the ability to upgrade. Once I wanted to rethink the world and create a new reality.Owning basis Crafts, I started subtly incorporate this tradition in modern art design. Particular attention is paid to the study of ornament, as it is an important spiritual - material sign. Ornamental art is very plastic and can easily be transformed, and the form of decor can exist as an independent work. All this set of knowledge, skills and experiments gave me a certain sense of readiness to establish a full-fledged independent designer brand. -" Olga Berg

Stéphanie Baechler I

Stéphanie Baechler's work has incredible variety of density texture and planes. It is really fascinating to see her work traverse different disciplines as her ceramics work feeds different elements of her exploration of textile and fashion design. Stéphanie's fascination has steamed from a love of ceramics and its component minerals. This in turn has lead to a desire to take these solid elements and give them the fluidity of textiles and the drape on the human form.

"In Negotiating this disparity, transition and transformation are essential: stone Becomes fabric, Modelled to follow the body while it is moving and to turn the face into sculpture as soon as it comes to rest - Suggesting an effortless, casual flow from fashion to art and back again. Several Elements taken from the mineral world return into the design. " Stéphanie Baechler
