KOD.objects translates early russian craft into furniture design
ECHO by KOD.objects reinterprets the material culture and architecture of 11th–17th century Russia as a sculptural furniture collection. Each object is crafted from plywood and recycled paper pulp, finished with a protective coating that adds durability and a tactile surface.
The project draws from ancient household objects, carved wooden forms, early stone structures, and the structural silhouettes characteristic of old Russian craftsmanship. These historical sources are translated into contemporary sculptural furniture. The collection includes stools, chairs, tables, consoles, and screens. Each object reinterprets the plasticity and rhythm of ancient forms into a modern architectural language.

Monolithic Forms and Recycled Materials Shape ECHO Collection
The pieces are defined by monolithic silhouettes, softened arcs, and minimal surfaces that create a grounded structural presence in the interior. All objects are made from a combination of plywood and recycled paper pulp. The surfaces are reinforced with a final protective coating that stabilises the form and creates a matte tactile finish. Each piece is handcrafted in small batches and designed as a collectible, gallery-level object. Through ECHO, studio KOD.objects continues its method of transforming cultural heritage into contemporary design, preserving the domestic and architectural code of the past in functional objects of today.
