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.

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

OSTRIV 
PLATFORM 
IDENTITY
Founded in 2013, the Ostriv platform has been curated and art-directed by our studio, Formografia, ever since. We’ve been responsible for its interior aesthetic, navigation design, and graphics for social media. For example, during the crowdfunding campaign, we created a visual graphic representation of the space to communicate the platform’s possibilities.

Ostriv_Lab, a sub-brand for the fab-lab workshop, features a generative logo and carefully chosen fonts for navigation. Over the past decade, we’ve also designed event posters, merchandise (t-shirts, magnets, postcards, bags, etc.), corporate stationery, and the website, forming a cohesive branding package.

TOLOCAR
MOBILE 
MAKERSPACE
Toloka, an ancient Ukrainian custom of communal labor, inspired the name TOLOCAR—a mobile makerspace combining "Toloka" and "car." These vehicles are equipped with tools to build, repair, and create, embodying teamwork and self-reliance.

The logo’s bold, heavy letters symbolize the strength of tools and collective power, while its adaptable composition reflects the project’s freedom and self-organization.

We designed a series of illustrations narrating the makerspace’s story, showcasing its equipment, activities, and collaborative spirit. The project’s identity also includes car appearance guidelines, team t-shirts, merchandise, and templates for social media. Together with: GIZ, MitOst

CONSTRUCTIONS    
OF INTERACTION 
SCHOOL The identity for Constructions of Interaction reflects our experience in public space design, embodying architects' pursuit of forms that gain meaning through interaction.

To harmonize the long words in the logo, we balanced their lengths and used the letter Є dynamically to incorporate icons. The technical font reflects architectural aesthetics, while repeating elements like "ІЇ" resemble a double T-beam, referencing construction materials.

The visual identity combines the logo with imagery from past projects, such as 3D models, drawings of people building spaces, and photographs, communicating both the school’s essence and our practical expertise.Together with:  Garage Gang, USAID,

THE MOST 
FEST 3.0

The architectural concept for The Most Fest 3.0 focused on a contextual approach to the site and minimising environmental impact. The festival highlighted the transformation of the industrial zone in central Kostiantynivka.

Key elements included scaffolding frames, reed carpets instead of banners, and a visual aesthetic blending post-industrial ruins with natural regeneration. The design emphasized site-specific artefacts like plant ruins while tying all festival locations, into a cohesive concept. Graffiti artists from One Cru painted reed screens, enhancing the mix of industrial and natural themes. A highlight was the observation tower above the river, offering panoramic views of the area and its natural beauty.
