Many voices, one recognisable WOO
WOO works with independent designers, each creating a personal mini-collection for the brand. That is why the collection speaks several languages at once — and still stays recognisably WOO: laconic silhouettes, rounded lines, tactile materials.
Lead designer of the collection · author of most WOO pieces
Dmytro Kozinenko
“I perceive design as a harmonic balance between two approaches. On the one hand, an item is created for a person and should serve them without causing any difficulty or dissatisfaction; on the other, the process of its creation is an art — an intellectual search, the expression of an idea through the perspective of one’s own inner world.”
For WOO: PLAY, BUN, NAI, BALANCE, FOX, TECTONIC, URBAN, AXE, AERO, DROVA, LOOP, COAST, HIDDEN and OAK sofas, BIBLIO, LAYERS, GROW, WELL, COVER, ROOT, INK, LAKE, PICEA, FULL FILL. Awards: Interior Design Best of Year 2025 (NAI) and 2022 (PLAY), NYCxDESIGN 2026 (PLAY), A’ Design Award 2025 (BUN), IDA 2023/2024, Casum 2025 (URBAN).

Furniture designer
Nikita Bukoros
“For me, form is character. I take away everything accidental until an object is left with one confident gesture — a silhouette you remember. A piece of furniture should hold its space calmly: stand firm, stay honest, and make you want to touch it.”
For WOO: SUMO and URSA armchairs.

Ivan Voytovich

Architect · author of WAVE, the first WOO piece (2015)
Igor Lugerin
An architect equally committed to large-scale projects for his own bureau and to designing a bar stool. The main concept of his objects is laconicism and clarity of expression; Igor prefers natural materials and timeless designs that can live a lifetime with their owner.
For WOO: WAVE bar and counter stools in solid ash or leather — still a bestseller since 2015.
