"Dunie Studio, an all-women multidisciplinary design collective, has its fingers in many of Almaty's smartest pies. The team master-minded the creative direction of clothing line Erke Moms, developed products for yurt-inspired homeware brand Yourta and designed packaging for TruNomad, a Kazakh natural skincare label. With the recent opening of Spazio Dunie next to its office in a Soviet mansion on Tchaikovsky Street, the group now has a creative outlet to call its own."
"Founded by Alyona and Alexey Lezhanina in 2021, VW Home feels cosy from the get-go. A carpenter by trade, Alexey uses the snug, light-filled space as a shoppable showroom for the wooden cutting boards and bowls he makes from felled local karagach elms. Alyona draws on her talents as a textiles designer to create waffle-patterned towels, dishcloths and candles made from natural materials, and to source products such as woven baskets by local homeware brand Uige."
