Belarusian ornament can be read as a language of symbols. Geometric forms conveyed ideas about the individual, the home, the family, the continuation of the lineage, and the vital force of life.
In the “Salamyany Kod” collection, four symbols come together to tell one story: a man and a woman meet, create a family, and the family carries life forward. Straw marquetry emphasizes this connection: its golden surface reflects the light, brings the precise geometry of the pattern to life, and reveals itself differently as the piece is turned.
Agon
Man. Fire. Masculine principle
The design is based on an eight-rayed symbol associated with fire and the warmth of the hearth. In the collection, it represents masculine strength: energy, movement, determination, and the ability to protect the world created around oneself.
Agon is the first impulse, the warmth and strength from which life begins.
Krasa
Woman. Spring. Youth
This symbol is associated with the image of a young woman, spring, youth, and feminine beauty. Its rhythmic composition conveys inner harmony, purity, and the ability to fill the surrounding space with life.
Krasa is not only outward beauty, but also the feminine principle that gives the world form, warmth, and continuity.
Syam’ya
Family. Lineage. Motherhood
The “Syam’ya” symbol brings several elements together around a shared center. It expresses closeness, kinship, fertility, and motherhood — everything that allows individual people to become a family.
It is an image of a shared home, mutual support, and the bond between generations.
Syam’ya is born from the unity of the masculine and feminine principles and becomes the foundation for the continuation of the lineage.
Sontsa
Light. Unity. Life
In the solar symbol, the masculine and feminine principles come together. It is associated with light, purity, the continuation of the lineage, and the fullness of life.
The sun completes the symbolic story of the collection: fire gives energy, beauty fills it with harmony, family unites, and life continues through children, memory, and new generations.
Sontsa is life born from unity and turned toward the future.
Four Symbols — One Story
Agon
man.
Krasa
woman.
Syam’ya
their unity and shared home.
Sontsa
life and the continuation of the lineage.
Each symbol can be chosen separately — as a gift with its own meaning. Together, they form a complete story about the individual, the family, and the continuity of life.
Every piece in the collection is made by hand. Subtle differences in the shade and placement of the straw make each item unique.
