“89 degrees is almost 90, almost a right angle, such an eternal striving for perfection: the world is not perfect, like all of us,” says the founder of the eponymous brand of cookware, Alexandra Polidovets. Less than a year ago, she became interested in ceramics in order to be distracted from her main job as an architect: “When you are lepish, you can not think about anything, this is a kind of meditation.” Announced by simple things, nature and architecture, Alexander makes dishes from earthenware and white clay, sculpts everything with her own hands, without using a potter's wheel, and then she burns and we cover with food glazes. At the exit you get beautiful, touching and in a good way strange things: a flowerpot with an eye and a whole series of the same "big-eyed" plates, shiny and black mugs with thick walls like night, a flower vase like a heart, and plates with great quotes - from Bowie's songs to Dmitry Vrubel's graffiti on the Berlin Wall.
Alexandra is from Minsk, but has been living in Moscow for several years, where she is studying in the magistracy of the MARSH school. In his free time, he paints in watercolor, shoots it on film, reads books about space and sometimes beats tattoos to friends. Together with one of them - Vova - they do the dishes of 89 °: "Vova kneads the clay for large orders, helps to sharpen the edges, transport, make a choice when I rush around between several options. I believe that the project 89 ° is two people : me and him. Without his support, nothing would have happened. "
