Trinity Candelabra | Guculiya
This is a contemporary stylization of the traditional three pronged candelabra typical of the Pokuttia and Hustul regions of western Ukraine. Most often it was carved from wood with intricate ornamentation. The candelabra was a symbol of wealth and served to protect and bring light into the home. It was always used during the most important family celebrations and religious holidays
The Guculiya.TINI Collection | Guculiya (or Hustulschyna) is a region in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine & the ethnic people of the territory are the Hutsuls. Tini means shadows.
The collection is designed by Danuta Kril and hand-sculpted by potters in Havarechchyna (Гавареччина) Ukraine. The technique of black smoked ceramics originated in this region over 100 years ago. To achieve the black color, wood is burned in the kiln during the firing process - the clay absorbs the smoke resulting in a water-proof black color. No additional pigments are used. This unique technique was almost entirely forgotten, but thanks to designers like Danuta Kril are being revived.
This collection connects us to past generations, combining contemporary minimalist forms with ancient symbols and traditional craftsmanship with modern times.
