About us

Deeply Personal Design Philosophy

Krikla doesn't impose a signature style or follow trends. Instead, the studio treats each home as a unique expression of the client's identity, history, and way of life.
Krikla's design is about emotional connection and personal meaning.

Respect for Craftsmanship & Cultural Heritage

Krikla integrates antique, vintage, and handcrafted pieces, often giving them a second life. The studio honors global craftsmanship, rare materials, and forgotten techniques and their connection to the person.

A Balance of Creative Vision and Technical Expertise

Thanks to Dasha’s background in accounting and property development, Krikla delivers interiors that are not only aesthetically refined but flawlessly managed. The studio successfully blends artistic sensitivity with practical execution.

Thoughtful, Collaborative Process

Krikla sees clients as co-creators, not just customers. The studio listens deeply, allowing space for discovery, slow thinking, and true collaboration.
The client's voice is central - Krikla brings it to life without overpowering it.

Curated, Not Decorated

Krikla’s work is never overdone. Every object, texture, and color is thoughtfully selected and placed with care, resulting in the client’s greatest satisfaction.

The Story Behind Krikla

In 2014, after more than a decade in accounting and five years in property development, Dasha Slavinskaya made a quiet shift toward something more personal—her lifelong passion for design, craftsmanship, and meaningful objects. She launched a curated showroom of antique and vintage pieces, design furniture, and decorative and fine art. It was a natural evolution rather than a sharp turn—a continuation of everything she had learned, refined through a deeply personal lens.

"I grew up in a home that was, in many ways, a living gallery. My father’s work took him across Latin America, and with each trip, he brought back pieces that told stories—handmade objects that became part of our everyday life. I didn’t realise it then, but that’s where my relationship with craft and culture began."

This early exposure shaped Dasha’s eye for beauty with soul. Her love for craftsmanship, ethnic detail, and the poetry of imperfection became part of her design language—one that values heritage, materiality, and emotional connection just as much as composition and function.

"As a studio, we care deeply about preserving and giving pieces a second life. We see beauty not only in what’s handmade, but in what holds memory, story, and care."

Since 2016, Dasha has been offering interior design services that reflect this philosophy. Her rare ability to blend a decorative voice with clear structure and management has become Krikla’s signature. The result is a studio that doesn’t just deliver beautiful homes—it creates spaces that feel personal, thoughtful, and lived-in from the very beginning.
