The Tvori! Foundation and Folk Crafts Don’t know where to get inspiration for creativity? The Tvori! Foundation for the Support of Young Designers and Architects gathered all interested parties on December 20 to talk about folk crafts, about how traditional elements of lace, painting and carving can be used to create unique modern products. The conversation took place in the form of a round table, with the lively and active participation of those gathered. After all, folk crafts have always been, are and will be an inexhaustible source of ideas for designers. etk-fashion.com became a partner of this event, which took place within the framework of the XVII exhibition-fair of folk and artistic crafts of Russia "Ladya". Our editor-in-chief Oksana Kashenko told how traditional crafts are practically integrated into modern interiors and what manufacturers should focus on. Representatives of the "Gus Crystal Factory named after Maltsov" took part in the conference. They prepared a competition "Diamond Face" for the audience, talked about the rich traditions of crystal production. And these things will fit perfectly into any interior! 2.Conceptual masquerade ball from KONZEPT Festive gatherings in December followed literally one after another.

The special guest of the event was decorator Elena Teplitskaya, who gave an excellent master class on New Year's decorations. Under her guidance, the guests learned how to make a Christmas tree not from a Christmas tree: Elena showed how to work with the shape correctly and create something unusual from the simplest materials. Interior designer Stepan Bugayev gave practical advice on interior arrangement and decoration. And then everyone could try to create decorations from familiar means, such as tinsel, candles, glitter, streamers and toys.

With the help of multi-colored glaze and sprinkles, everyone could create a delicious Christmas tree decoration or a completely unique gift for their loved ones. The New Year's Design Brunch is a new format for Moscow to communicate with guests, which managed to perfectly combine business with pleasure: a workshop, an entertainment format and a meeting with designers.
