MISHKA ARMCHAIR BY ROMAN ANDRUSENKO

The apotheosis of his singular artistic vision, Andrusenko’s current collection is distinguished by a balance of strength and playfulness, weight and levity, provocation and charm. Each tantalizing work is steeped in Andrusenko’s signature sense of irony and engages the viewer not only through function but also through character, animating domestic space with forms that feel at once familiar and surprising

Grounded in the traditions of heritage European craftsmanship yet unafraid to challenge convention, the series embraces dualities: solidity and airiness, brutality and tenderness, memory and invention. Imbued with dramatic presence and ebullient personality, the collection offers an invitation to participate in the rituals of daily life with a renewed sense of childlike wonder and possibility

A natural extension of the Materia Viva collection, the Mishka Armchair is an ode to protection and repose. Flanked by two hand carved oak pillars that rise at either side, their sculpted surfaces bearing the rhythmic marks of the craftsman’s chisel, the form envelops rather than merely supports. Between them, a sumptuous upholstered body unfolds in a single, generous gesture, its rounded back curving forward with the quiet intimacy of an embrace. The raw tactility of gouged oak yields to the indulgent softness of velvet or bouclé, an interplay of the primal and the refined that lies at the heart of Andrusenko’s vision. Mishka does not ask to be admired from afar; it invites surrender
