Made with bravery: 7 Ukrainian Design Brands at Salone Del Mobile 2023

April 28, 2023

From minimalist objects to sculptural bespoke furnishings, Ukrainian designers have showcased their talent at this year's Salone del Mobile in Milan.


The Ukrainian manufacturers faced significant difficulties due to the war, such as shifting production to different locations from conflict zones, broken supply chains, and the challenge of finding new contractors.
The Ukrainian design brands at Salone del Mobile are a testament to the growing recognition of Ukraine as a hub of creative and innovative design. Their eye-catching products are all united in how they illustrate a sense of freedom, courage, and beauty, making the exhibition an excellent representation of the country's design scene.

Salone del Mobile supported Ukrainian designers givings the opportunity to seven design brands to showcase their innovative and exciting products that collectively embody Ukraine's identity and distinctive aesthetics, blending familiar materials and traditional crafting techniques, rich cultural history, and dynamic modernity.
