Today she is renowned for her distinctive style incorporating natural lines and organic forms. Anna Agapova’s creations transport viewers to the magical, uncharted corners of the world, reflecting the textures and palettes of the places she has visited.

Natalia Olinder | Ceramic Artist

With over a decade of experience as an interior stylist and decorator for prestigious publications such as AD and Elle Decoration, as well as international high-end interior design companies, Natalia Olinder discovered the critical role unique objects play in elevating an interior space. Collaborating closely with renowned sculptors and artists, she frequently commissioned one-of-a-kind pieces to ensure that no two projects felt the same, especially when aiming for publication in leading design magazines.

Inspired by the need for distinctive finishing touches, Natalia began creating her own interior objects—pieces designed to stand out both in person and on camera. Her creations have become highly sought after by interior designers seeking to add a touch of originality to their projects.

At the upcoming exhibition, Natalia will showcase her Iceland Series, a collection that draws inspiration from the raw, volcanic textures of Iceland’s natural landscapes.
