Ukrainian Design Shines With Artistic, Sustainable, And Unapologetically Bold Creations

Discover How Ukraine’s Designers Are Redefining Interiors With Eco-friendly, Artful Creations.

A design movement is redefining interiors, blending bold artistry with sustainability—and it hails from Ukraine. The Lviv Furniture Cluster*, a collaborative network of leading Ukrainian furniture manufacturers, designers, and innovators, brings together ten exceptional brands, including Clayp, Tivoli, and Donna. Dedicated to sustainable craftsmanship and global design excellence, the cluster showcases standout pieces like Clayp’s Zakohani Wichandelier, Tivoli’s Striha Lounge Set, and Donna’s Suminagashi Table. These creations go beyond functionality, making powerful design statements that combine eco-conscious innovation with global sophistication.

Imagine a light fixture that’s more than just lighting—a STORY OF NATURE, ART, AND SUSTAINABILITY. Clayp’s Zakohani Wichandelier is precisely that. Crafted from Ukrainian clay, marble dust, and natural fibers, this pendant light takes inspiration from the curves of bent stone, symbolizing strength and connection.

Its eco-friendly process makes it even more remarkable: Clayp’s pieces are dried at just 93°F, saving energy and minimizing environmental impact. The result? A chandelier that’s as kind to the planet as it is stunning in design. Perfect over dining tables or as a centerpiece in contemporary living spaces, it invites conversation while casting a warm, natural glow. Clayp is more than just a brand—it’s an embodiment of sustainable artistry and the rich cultural heritage of Ukraine. At its heart lies a commitment to crafting eco-friendly designs that inspire a deeper connection to both nature and one another. Each Clayp creation is lovingly crafted by artisans who combine locally sourced clay from various regions of Ukraine with NATURAL MATERIALS SUCH AS HERBS, PLANTS, MARBLE DUST, AND RECYCLED PAPER FIBERS. This unique blend minimizes environmental impact and allows every product to be easily recycled. Clayp delivers pieces that harmoniously unite sustainability and innovative design through this meticulous approach.

The soul of Clayp is evident in its diverse collections, each inspired by nature’s enduring beauty and timeless forms. The Zakohani Collection, for example, draws from the image of a bent stone, a metaphor for resilience and love, captured in sculptural lighting that radiates strength and vulnerability. The Pecherna Collection embraces organic compositions with modular “bells,” enabling users to create customizable suspended lighting designs that evoke a primal, natural aesthetic. Meanwhile, the Obriy Collection mirrors the horizon’s constancy, with fluid lines and luminous forms reflecting the promise of a new day. Lastly, the Khvilya Collection introduces innovation through sculptural lamps crafted from new clay blends enhanced with hemp fibers and coffee grounds, offering a tactile richness and warm hues. Each collection is a testament to Clayp’s dedication to blending Ukrainian traditions with modern sustainable practices, ensuring every piece is as meaningful as beautiful.
