ABOUT PROJECT
Roots - a contemporary apartment devoted to Ukrainian roots and Ukrainians who made a significant contribution to world history. A conceptual art project where symbols and achievements are collected in every meter and emphasize the national identity.
MAIN TASK
The designers’ task was to conduct research on Ukrainian heritage and implement symbolic elements into the interior solutions. We focused exceptional attention on prominent personalities and leading Ukrainian industries.
CONCEPT
Our project doesn’t have a specific location. It can be imagined in any corner of the world, but the philosophy will still remain adamant. The same parallel can be drawn with a person: it doesn't matter where you are - your roots will still talk about you. Memories of Ukrainian polonyna, poppies, Shchedryk, vyshyvanka, Shevchenko, Lysenko and Kostenko stay with you forever.
SYMBOLISM
A rocket engine, minerals, a "Carol of the bells" record, a wall and floor made of wool, Trypillia culture ceramics - all these symbols and their background can be found in the interior of "Roots".
