Collection: TORBINA STUDIO

WITH A BACKGROUND IN CULTURAL RESEARCH AND VISUAL STUDIES, POLINA TORBINA IS AN ART CURATOR AND DESIGNER. IN HER DESIGN PROJECTS, SHE COMBINES AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO RAW MATERIALS SUCH AS STONE, WOOD, AND GLASS.

HER WORK FOCUSES ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF FURNITURE AND UTILITARIAN OBJECTS OF A SCULPTURAL NATURE, WHERE THE INTROSPECTIVE LINK BETWEEN HUMANS, MATTER, AND THE PIECE IN THE MAKING PREVAILS. HER PARTICULAR CREATIONS FOLLOW STRONG LINES, ASSOCIATED WITH A DECIDEDLY NEUTRAL AND MINIMALIST APPROACH. WORKING WITH NATURAL MATERIALS IN A CONTRASTING MANNER, SHE EMBODIES A UNIQUE AND CONSTANTLY EVOLVING PRACTICE, SOMETIMES PERCEPTIBLE IN HER FEMININE LINES AND SCULPTURAL FORMS.

IN HER PRACTICE, SHE CREATES METAPHORS THAT BECOME THE FOUNDATION OF HER PIECES. HER WORK FALLS WITHIN THE REALM OF COLLECTIBLE FURNITURE WITH A CONTEMPORARY AND MINIMALIST LINE, IN TRADITIONAL FORMS AND PATTERNS.
