Participation in ethnographic expeditions to the Extreme North, the study of culture and way of life of the indigenous peoples of the Russian North, the study of applied arts on par with a modern design, interest in both traditional cultural values and the latest technology and futurology - all of it inevitably have been forming individual design concept of Alexander Zhukovsky and his own vision of designing process.

"I realized that the design is the art of using experiences of the past to create the experience of the future. It's like a beautiful bridge between the past and the future, which isconsisting of experiences, emotions, feelings, observations, calculations and research in the form of attractive and useful product to facilitate and decorating our daily life".

After graduating the USAAA (Ural State Academy of Architecture and Arts, Yekaterinburg, Russia) in 2008, Alexander Zhukovsky founded his own design studio which is working across a wide range of fields, from lighting, furniture and sanitary ware to medical equipment and vehicles.
