This is what happens when a young and utterly contemporary Russian woman decides to take a closer look at the lifestyle products of days gone by. After graduating, designer Yana Osmanova’s first job took her to the USA. On returning to her hometown Moscow, she remembers: “When I was setting up my new home sweet home, I couldn’t find any kitchen utensils or tableware that I liked – so I decide to design my own.” An aesthete at heart, Yana Osmanova visited countless museums around the country looking for inspiration and realised that “In the 11th century, Russian tableware was actually made of wood!” She fell completely in love with the simplicity of these natural pieces and had the idea of bringing their shapes and decoration up to date, adding at the same time an extra dash of minimalism. She founded FUGA in 2015 and a new career was born.
