Pre-order

‘Chronicle of Ukrainian Design’ is a new magazine about the history and development of Ukrainian design, initiated by Spiilka design bureau. The magazine is an attempt to see and show how Ukrainian design identity was born and evolved.

From the times of Kyivan Rus to today's large-scale international partnerships, Ukrainian professionals in the creative sector tell us how functional, respectful of tradition and innovative design in Ukraine is.

Among the topics of the first issue of the magazine: fonts and the official style of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the story of Nil Khasevych, designer of the OUN and UPA, ‘Antonov’ planes, MAGURA kamikaze drones, PR campaigns of the ‘Offensive Guard’ and ‘Azov Tylovyky’, the ‘Air Alert’ app, and the history and design of bionic limbs by Esper Bionics. 

Typography, graphic design, industrial and product design, digital design — the ‘Chronicle of Ukrainian Design’ covers all these areas and tells about projects and designers that have influenced Ukraine and Ukrainians and have been noticed in the world.

The third issue is published with the support of Vasil Kisil & Partners, a leading law firm. All profits from the sale will be used to fund further issues
