APR MAY

APR/MAY IS A DESIGN DUO EXPLORING NEW WAYS OF DESIGNING INSPIRED BY BESSARABIAN FOLKLORE, EMBRACING CRAFTS AND HISTORY PASSED OVER GENERATION TO GENERATION IN THE HISTORIC REGION OF BESSARABIA (MAINLY MOLDOVA), THROUGHOUT A CONTEMPORARY BUT TIMELESS REINTERPRETATION.
REINVENTING THE CREATIVE PROCESS, EACH PIECE IS UNIQUE, MADE AND ASSEMBLED BY HAND IN MOLDOVA, HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL ARTISANAL MATERIALS AND TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES: HAND-WOVEN WOOL TEXTILES EMBODY THE VERY ESSENCE OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP BESSARABIAN AND SERVE AS THE CORNERSTONE FOR THESE CREATIONS. CAREFULLY SELECTED FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR THEIR UNIQUE PATTERNS AND WEAVING TECHNIQUES, THEY ARE INDIVIDUALLY CHOSEN FOR EACH PIECE OF UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE.
LOCAL AESTHETIC ABUNDANCE GUIDES EACH OF THE COLLECTIONS, NAMED SEASONS, BRINGING A TOUCH OF FRESHNESS AND AUTHENTICITY TO EACH CREATION.
