FORÆVA is a multi-disciplinary design lab co-founded by fashion designer Lana Dumitru & architect Vlad Tenu. The fusion between architecture and fashion is expanded by their common interest in expressing ideas through artistic means, drawing inspiration from nature, traditional craft, computation and technology.
Their innovative design approach covers a wide area of expertise in fashion, jewellery, product design and architecture often materialised in art pieces and collections born out of research projects, comissions and brand collaborations. Their successful collaboration with Swarovski reinforces the studio’s ethos and mission to reinvent digital craft, push boundaries and challenge perceptions of the future of tradition. The award-winning Foræva crystal dress is made of 25,000 Swarovski crystals, was worn by Björk on stage as part of Utopia Tour and it is currently exhibited at the Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Austria.
