Aleksej Iskos

Aleksej Iskos, born in Ukraine and residing in Copenhagen, Denmark since 1991, is a graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design. Aleksej values design not only for its practical utility, but also for its ability to convey messages, evoke emotions, and awaken memories — a narrative that resonates deeply with him. To articulate this narrative, the designer merges both practicality and aesthetics, transforming function into poetry.
