Objects
In the dacha, beauty and usefulness have always gone hand in hand.
Everything has a reason to be there: embroidered pillows stacked high on a bed, ready for guests, icons in the corner watching over the room, geraniums in the window as a sign of life during the long winters. Life is pared back to essentials, but beauty is never considered an indulgence. The things of everyday life are made with care, often by hand, and refined by generations.
