Studio Mixtura was founded in 2015. Daria Biryukova is a design alchemist with a fascination to experiment with waste and secondary raw materials. She is searching for smart, sustainable, and beautiful solutions for everyday life.
'I believe in design as a powerful and productive treatment that can help to build a better life. I start every project with deep research and analysis of all the ingredients which appear after production or recycling processes. This approach allows me to work with a very broad range of industries and collaborate with experts from different disciplines. Once I collect all data, the mixing and matchmaking begin. A study brings me to complete new storytelling with the answers to questions: why the product, material is produced in this way, why the waste is accumulating, how it could get a sustainable treatment, and as the outcome what is the design of a new product'.
