About Us

YAKUSH was founded by Maria Yakush in 2017

Masha Yakush is a visionary and founder of YAKUSH. Having a deep passion for restaurant culture, Masha decided to use her extensive experience in restaurant consulting to create a brand that would diversify tableware.

The history of YAKUSH began with Masha's passion for restaurant culture. She noticed that while many restaurants serve unique and delicious food, the tableware they use is often bland and uninspiring. She saw an opportunity to improve the overall dining experience by introducing a line of high-quality, aesthetically pleasing tableware.

With this vision, Masha set out on a journey to create her own cookware line. She has spent countless hours researching and experimenting with different materials, shapes and designs, drawing inspiration from traveling around the world and visiting museums that display ancient artifacts and antique tableware.

TECHNOLOGIES


Tempered glass products are the main focus of the YAKUSH brand. Our production is located in Lviv (Ukraine). Gut glass is unique in that the objects are made by the method of free blowing. Hut glass comes from the German word hutte - hut - a glass-blowing workshop. This unique technology was invented in Ukraine in the 15th century. The molten ball is blown through a tube. It is corrected with wooden bars, tongs. The result is removed from the tube, put on an iron rod ("ponte") and continue processing. If necessary, the master opens the upper part or unfolds the lower part, pulls out, bends, cuts viscous glass with the help of special tools. Also, before creating an object from tempered glass, we remelt broken glass (we take it from factories that are no longer functioning) and, in this way, give a new life to the fragments.
