Victoria Yakusha Gallery unveils Zemna’s New collection: TUMAN

The TUMAN (Ukrainian for "fog") collection, crafted by designer and artist Tatiana Krasutska, will be showcased at Victoria Yakusha Gallery, a space dedicated to contemporary collectible design. TUMAN is a manifesto of untamed inner freedom that has found its harmony in material form.

The collection includes a sofa, a daybed, and a swinging chaise lounge — objects that seem to delicately balance in space, merging sculptural presence with a sense of complete relaxation. The collaboration between Tatiana Krasutska, Andrii Dobrianskyi, and Victoria Yakusha Gallery began in early 2024. Since then, the pieces have featured in several prestigious collectible design exhibitions, including Collectible in Brussels and Salone Art in New York.

Krasutska’s artistic inquiry centers on the emotional power of design. The forms that emerge from her sketchbook appear to transform space, reawakening primal, earthy instincts within the viewer. Her creative process explores how shape influences perception, evokes natural responses, and subtly shifts emotional and physical states.

The new pieces in the TUMAN collection are designed with a heightened sense of ergonomics — a layered approach that considers not only the physical and biological needs of the human body, but also its emotional wellbeing. The furniture is filled with memory foam that provides supple support, adapting to the body’s contours and fostering a deep sense of calm, comfort, and care.

“TUMAN began with an image seared into my mind—McQueen’s show where water cascaded over a model, a girl in a crown of thorns, scared yet brave. I saw myself in her. That’s how I feel when I meet my shadow—this hidden self that knows my deepest desires. My instinctive, raw courage, sometimes painful, became my inspiration. I worked on this collection as if possessed, the forms emerging in a dreamlike state. The mermaid girls, wild girls with no future, became its essence. Honest, and strong in their vulnerability, they act purely on instinct. In a world obsessed with analysis, such raw intuition feels radical—but I believe it’s the only true path now,” said Tatiana Krasutska.

The collection combines minimalist aesthetics with biomorphic and anthropomorphic shapes. In their studio, Tatiana and Andrii define this approach as sculptural minimalism — a style that evokes deep instinctual responses, stirs the senses, and gently integrates with its environment. Fluid and tactile, these forms create an intimate connection between object and human, their natural curves echoing organic structures known to us on a subconscious level.

A highlight of the collection is the soft rocking daybed — a playful design piece that allows the user to physically experience a sensation of freedom and lightness, once only metaphorical.

The studio upholds principles of responsible production, honoring craftsmanship, time, and the energy invested in each object. All pieces are made from natural, long-lasting materials, chosen for their ability to reveal texture and gracefully evolve with age.
