to be,

centaurea — cornflower (Lat.)

The name came about partly by chance. I thought long and hard about what to call the project. Then, unexpectedly, one evening, I remembered something my friend had said. When I asked her what kind of flower I would be, she replied, “A cornflower.”

I believe that every person is a special flower.

With its inflorescence, aroma, and color. You don't have to be a cornflower; you can be whatever you want to be. The main thing is to simply see yourself and others, grow and strengthen in the world.

Over time, the project grew and took over my whole world. More precisely, I began to perceive it as a separate world. Something that can be pulled out from deep within oneself and transferred into physical space.

The project began as a hobby for my soul. Something I could do with my hands after work in the evenings. Like a safe place where I could create, enjoy myself, and be who I am.

Together, we strive to create unique, cheerful products with their own stories, which will last a long time, bring joy to your heart, and catch the eye of passersby.

Nowadays, seamstresses Olga and Ekaterina help me with my work. They do their job very well, with love, putting all their experience and hard work into it.

I also often invite my friends to participate in the project: designers, photographers, potters, creative people in general who create things outside my field.

This leads to collaborations in the form of flycatcher keychains, notebooks, ceramic pendants, and other items. This helps to cover even more objects by passing them through the world of the brand.

Hi, my name is Polina,
I am the creator of the becentaurea.
