FOUR SEASONS. VESNA

Creative project “Seasons”

It takes a very long time to become young.

Rafalskaya Collection introduces the creative project “Four Seasons”. We aim to explore design and its connection to art, creativity, philosophy, literature and nature. We believe our surroundings help us see beyond furniture’s function and find deeper meaning. 

Our first season named Vesna ("spring" in Ukrainian) we dedicate to youth. 

Vesna embodies renewal, lightness, and embrace of new forms. Through this project, we explore spaces, objects, and symbols that inspire transformation.

Youth is not just a matter of age. It’s about discovering possibilities, chasing changes and fresh perspectives. It’s the thrill of new experiences and the curiosity that drives creativity. Just like spring awakens nature, youth awakens ideas — bold, bright, and full of energy.

Youth is about life full of wonder. This season we are explorers, trying to reach the craved destination. We all know the feeling when you chase dreams and change beliefs. You move places, looking for a sense of belonging. Spend nights at the parties with your friends and days at work. You fall hopelessly for a stranger, unsure whether it’s love or just the thrill of something new. You obsess over a favorite novel and admire artists like gods, wondering if their visions can somehow lead you to your own. When finally you understand that it’s a lifelong journey. You realize that youth is less about the rush to figure it all out and more about the growth that comes with every experience.

“I believe that the objects around us affect how we feel. Things hold memories, the echoes of conversations, and the presence of those who once touched them”, Alina Rafalskaya creative director and founder of Rafalskaya Collection.
