Meet impressive yakush_living
Founded in 2017, YaKUSH creates hand-blown glass objects positioned between functional design and collectible interior art. The brand works with Huta glass, an ancient free-blowing technique that originated in Ukraine in the 15th century, applying it to contemporary forms designed for modern living spaces. YaKUSH’s portfolio includes vases, pitchers, glasses, bowls, candles, lighting, and decorative objects conceived as statement pieces rather than background décor.
Each object is shaped entirely by hand and breath, without molds or standardized templates. As a result, every piece carries unique proportions, glass thickness, and surface character. These natural variations are central to the brand’s identity, giving each object a distinct presence and reinforcing its value as a one-of-a-kind interior element.
YaKUSH approaches traditional glassblowing as a living design language rather than a heritage aesthetic. The brand pairs time-honored techniques with bold, sculptural silhouettes, creating objects that feel expressive, contemporary, and visually confident. Designed as focal points within an interior, YaKUSH pieces function equally as usable objects and sculptural accents.
Material choice is integral to the brand’s visual language. YaKUSH works primarily with recycled glass, allowing natural shifts in tone, texture, and density to remain visible rather than concealed. This approach treats sustainability as an aesthetic asset, enhancing the depth and individuality of each piece.
At SHOPPE OBJECT Summer 2026, YaKUSH will present a curated selection of its collections, including two hero designs:
Japanese Winter Vase: a refined, hand-blown glass collection inspired by Japanese winter gardens. Clean silhouettes, delicate ribs, and a soft matte finish evoke traces of wind on snow, warm shoji light, and dark pine branches against a pale sky.
Venus Vase: a monumental 50-centimeter sculptural vase inspired by ancient Venus figures and Trypillian goddesses. Referencing symbols of femininity, fertility, and harmony, the Venus Vase is conceived as a central interior statement.
