OBITOVANA 5019 is a collaboration between two creative visionaries: Ukranian design and architecture practice Sergey Makhno Architects (@makhno_design) and independent couture studio Kofta (@koftastudio). Together, the two studios interpret their vision of the future via a collection of forward-thinking furniture and accessories.
Consisting of table without a tabletop, a cold floor lamp and a warm one, a sofa-shell, a carpet puzzle and two flower-bags, each item is produced only once, accompanied by its own unique story and history that takes place in a crafted, imagined world “without walls and ceilings, fences and borders, rules and obligations.” OBITOVANA 5019 is an eco-manifesto in a place where war, mobile phones, and the internet have ceased to exist, an attempt to taste post-futurism through channels of fashion and architecture.
“We are telling the story about the mode of life after the future,” says Makhno, whose body of work promotes Ukranian traditions, minimalism, art and the Japanese philosophy of wabi-wabi. “The project is our dream to be part of building the world we want to have, not the one we are predicted.”
Kofta, whose creations we’ve featured in the past, adds: “Today, people follow aesthetics – the main driver for change. It is tomorrow already when the things around will become the harmony a modern human lakes. Tomorrow there will be no future, but us — new ones, filled with light, surrounded by a perfectly balanced space.”
