Entry Description

The new MOVCHUN furniture collection by FAINA reveals the interaction between human beings and nature through contemplation. MOVCHUN is derived from Ukrainian ‘keep silence’. Silence is what slows you down to feel the connection between You and the Earth to keep you grounded with their heavy shapes. The key of MOVCHUN collection lies in its special, ecological and 100% natural materials. The base:made of signature recycled material ZTISTA, invented by Victoria Yakusha.Inside:the soft filler is made from hévea latex.The top:100% natural fabric from hemp or a natural cotton from recycled t-shirt
