FRUTTI DI MARE
by Adaptism and TOUCH WITH EYES
The new collection is called FRUTTI DI MARE. Its inspiration came from long daily walks along the Adriatic Sea. It is the wintery, deserted beaches that uncover their true beauty and offer their treasures to the viewer, such as shells, driftwood, and seaweed. Anna and Alexander, who grew up on the shores of the North Sea, which isn't as rich in such treasures, couldn’t resist collecting all these treasures and breathing new life and function into them. This is how the lamp with sea scallops, chandelier with oysters, and candelabra with mussels came to be. The soft light, hidden in the shells like pearls, highlights the beauty of the natural curves and the mother-of-pearl of the shells. The designers wanted to express the nature of the sea, the taste of salt, and the beauty of marine world.
TOUCH WITH EYES is a duo of designers Alexander Kanygin and Anna Druzhinina.
Alexander is an independent product designer who established his own studio in 2004. Anna is a fashion designer, founder of a local brand M_U_R. Both designers participated in various international
exhibitions, their works having been published in such magazines as: Wallpaper* ELLE Decoration, Sight Unseen, Moskauer Deutsche Zeitung, Bellissima Kids, Mind Mag, Bigu Migu, AD Magazine.
By the will of fate, Alexander and Anna found themselves in new conditions and in a new place, which prompted them to form a creative union. Currently, the designers are working in Europe.
