AN T  R   O
VASES & 
PLATES ANTRO is a set of geomorphic decorative vases and plates, derives from Anthropocene, the current geological era, where human activity significantly impacts Earth's ecosystem. Our 3D-printed objects use recycled plastic from refrigerator panels, reflecting a circular approach and raising awareness of environmental issues.

The visible spiral threads in the prints symbolize historical development and geological layers. The designs, based on mathematical 3D graphics, start as ideal forms (Start state) but evolve through every time special deformation, represented in the Noise and Decay models. This transformation mirrors both historical shifts and plastic's lifecycle, from useful material to environmental pollutant. Together with:

CIVIL DEFENSE
SHELTERS 
plus During Russia’s full-scale invasion, access to reliable and comfortable shelters remains a critical issue. Formografia believes that effective, sustainable shelters can be built quickly and with limited resources. This selection presents different shelter projects, including a remote collaboration in Reshetylivka, Poltava region and also space for internally displaced persons in Stryi.

Our approach encourages bottom-up initiatives, making shelters not only for air alerts but also as third spaces for social activity. A key feature is a library of easily implemented design solutions, particularly for furniture, using both original and open-source designs, including those by Enzo Mari.

TOLOCAR
PLAYBOOK
COVER For the Tolocar Playbook, a book about mobile makerspaces supporting communities across Ukraine, we designed the cover illustration. The goal was to capture the project's spirit and collaborative nature. Inspired by barn-raising imagery, we depicted people assembling an open-source laser cutter instead of a barn—highlighting the tool used in the project. Other illustrated tools and machines were also based on real equipment used by the Tolocar team. The illustration was first created in 3D for accurate isometric geometry. The Tolocar logo integrates into the composition, using the book’s brand colors. A final detail—the 3D printing-inspired "tree of support"—symbolizes the project's overall mission of providing aid and knowlege.Together with: HIWW

VELOLINK
PUBLIC SPACE
Our studio designed cyclist and pedestrian infrastructure in Chernihiv for Glovo and NGO Eco Misto. The project on Levka Lukyanenko Avenue includes a cycle path, bicycle crossing, service pavilion, parking posts, road markings, a recreation area, and container landscaping.

Key design goals were to connect two previously separated bike routes, establish a bike repair station as the focal point of the public space, and create durable, comfortable urban furniture using oak beams—all to promote an active, eco-friendly lifestyle.

LONGSLEEVE
CHOCOLOCAL 
STILL
This longsleeve is both a utilitarian item and a reflection of its origin. The limited edition Chocolocal Still documents elements of Chokolovka, the neighborhood where Ostriv is located. It features 3D scans capturing man-made and natural artifacts from the area, complemented by generative graphics tied to Ostriv's identity and an AI-generated poetic text about Chokolovka. The print forms a mental map, assembling local symbols to document a specific time and place. The connection to Chokolovka is not just symbolic—both sewing and printing occurred locally.

DEFENDERS OF
INDEPENDENCE
EXHIBITION
Organized by the Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in partnership with the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, the exhibition showcased over 100 photographs documenting the transformation of the Ukrainian army and society.

Key themes included the early days of the invasion, new military units, tactical medicine, aerial reconnaissance, international cooperation, and humanitarian efforts by the Armed Forces. Formografia studio designed the exhibition stands and prepared the photo layouts for printing.

EMERGENCY
POSTERS
This poster series began after the tactical medicine and first aid training conducted by the Cadus organization on the Ostriv platform. Despite the abundance of emergency materials online, few are minimalistic and easy to understand. We developed a unified visual language for the posters, capturing key points from the training.

With the ongoing war in Ukraine, the demand for such materials is high. The posters are currently placed in civic shelters we design, offering essential life-saving tips for people to read and memorize during air alerts. Together with: Cadus

GENERATIVE
GRAPHICS Generative Graphics is a studio side project exploring geometry-based algorithms to create images. This series, generated in Rhino Grasshopper using a voxel-based algorithm, involves complex computations, including the removal of invisible vector splines and swarm simulation to trace lines through the volume. The graphics are plotted in layers with rapidographs and alcohol markers (600×450 mm). The project extended into a limited edition of silkscreen-printed t-shirts. Kyiv / 2023

 

OPEN VILLAGES
PUBLICATION
The Open Villages book emerged from an educational program we initiated, where we contributed as designers, compilers, and authors. It systematizes materials from our study of Ukrainian villages, begun after Russia's full-scale invasion.

A key design element was the duotone processing of images, printed in three Pantone colors—black, green, and blue—instead of the usual CMYK. This approach unified the multi-colored photos into a cohesive style while enhancing depth and saturation. Paired with porous, slightly yellowish paper, the result is a minimalist yet holistic book, with colors evoking nostalgia and mystery. Together with: Goethe Institute Ukraine

KINESTETICA
PUBLISHING
IDENTITY Kinesthetica aspires to be a dynamic interdisciplinary database—a resource hub for body-oriented practices, exploring the body and its movement through Ukrainian perspectives. One of its key initiatives is a publishing house focusing on thematic translations, curated art books, and stylish collections of scientific articles.

We designed the visual identity for the publishing house with a logo inspired by a coordinate system around a person and the trajectory of movement. The letter "K" forms an unbroken line within this system, echoing gestures made in space, while rectangular planes following the trajectory symbolize sheets of paper, referencing the publishing industry. The design also nods to chronophotography, a historical method of capturing motion. Together with: Vita Bazan
