KOTO — Brave, Hot Hearted.

Inspired by the Ukrainian fairytale hero Kotyhoroshko, KOTO is a limited-edition collectible symbolizing the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit. Combining diverse materials with a bullet casing from a real battlefield, the project explores Ukraine’s cultural heritage and evolving visual identity.

Working on this project became a journey into the roots of Ukrainian identity, exploring the country’s cultural heritage, national symbolism, and the distinctive vision of contemporary Ukrainian artists. It was an opportunity to discover how art and design can express the strength, warmth, and complexity of a nation.
