Sashaxsasha Collection - SSS01W Stool Left

Alexandra Gineva and Alexander Dobrovskiy, both nicknamed Sasha, met while studying architecture in Ghent, Belgium, far from their native Moscow. That shared name became a design identity: sashaxsasha. In 2013 they founded Masterskaya Be, an architecture practice; in 2019 they launched sashaxsasha as a dedicated product design studio, based in Paris.

The two disciplines remain inseparable in their work. Architecture gives their objects weight and proportion; art, contemporary and classical, drawn from a lifetime of looking, provides the narrative. Each piece reads as a compressed argument: formal in construction, personal at its core. The studio describes its work as playful and monumental, and that tension is deliberate: a lamp can carry the gravity of a monument, a shelf can hold the lightness of a sketch.

Private and public commissions run alongside the collectible work, keeping the duo in conversation with both domestic and institutional scales. This dual practice, spanning architecture and product design, defines how sashaxsasha approaches the collectible design market: not as decoration, but as object-making with a point of view.

Their work is available on Monde Singulier.
