Khokhloma × Dima Loginoff

In the Garden of the Firebird

The Khokhloma brand presents a collaborative interior collection with Dima Loginoff. The collection includes sculptural vases, wall panels, table and floor lamps, sconces, and side tables — where contemporary design meets traditional Khokhloma painting. The project debuted at ARTDOM 2026.

Khokhloma continues to evolve as a brand that invites designers to reinterpret the heritage of one of Russia’s most iconic crafts. For Loginoff — an internationally recognized product designer known for collaborations with global brands including Cartier, VitrA and Axolight — this marks his first engagement with a traditional Russian craft, making the project especially significant.

Titled In the Garden of the Firebird, the collection proposes a fresh perspective on Khokhloma. Rather than directly quoting tradition, Loginoff reflects on how it can evolve without losing its voice. Minimal silhouettes are combined with expressive sculptural forms that reveal the ornament in unexpected ways — sometimes hidden within the object rather than placed on its surface. The vases resemble sculptures; the lighting pieces echo the simplicity and rhythm of children’s stacking toys.

Each piece is hand-painted by the masters of the Khokhlomskaya Rospis factory in Semenov, preserving the authenticity of the craft while placing it in a contemporary design context. The original patterns were created by Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Valentina Kalentyeva Shvetsova and incorporate traditional Khokhloma motifs, including curling floral elements and the mythical Firebird with its golden feathers.

“I am witnessing from within, for the first time, how one of Russia’s most iconic crafts is being reinterpreted and becoming an exciting part of the design industry. Contemporary product design, when interacting with cultural codes, allows far more freedom than what is traditionally accepted within the craft itself. As a result, not only does design gain something special, but the craft is enriched as well. Such cross-pollination keeps traditions alive rather than frozen in time.”

The collection demonstrates that Khokhloma can exist not only as heritage, but as a living language open to new meanings and personal interpretation.
