Art and scent
that create magic

It began with a need. Not with a business plan, not with a trend – but with an inner voice that whispered: let’s do something our own way. Let’s make something that means something.

In a world where everything rushes and multiplies in bulk, we chose a different path – slow craft, the smell of wet clay, the warmth of fired porcelain, a moment of silence between one movement of the hand and the next.

That is how Kyuka Design was born – a space for individualists who believe objects can have a soul. We didn’t want to make “more candles” or “pretty mugs”. We wanted every piece that leaves our studio to be a small story about freedom, emotion and authenticity.

In a former silk factory in Milanówek we created a place where craft meets modern form and everyday life meets art. Here every candle, every mug and every vase is made at a pace set by the heart – not by a machine.

We love imperfections – they are a sign that an object is alive, that it was made with passion, not from a template.

We work with porcelain, clay and glass – materials with their own weight, their own memory, their own delicacy. Because it is in that delicacy that strength lies.

Kyuka means “a moment of respite” in Japanese – and that is exactly what we want to give you.

When you reach for our mug, light a candle or set down a vase – let it be your own small ritual of calm. Let it fill the space with your own rhythm.

We are not a factory. We are a pair of makers who decided to listen to intuition rather than algorithms. Today our studio is a place where aesthetics meets authenticity, and every product is made out of love for beauty that lasts.

If you feel this resonates with you too – you are at home here. Welcome to Kyuka Design.

Fragile little things that delight the eye and the soul

The design studio and ceramics manufactory Kyuka Design was founded during the pandemic – for its founders it was a moment to return to their design roots and build a Polish brand around Parian porcelain, a material that lets light through and feels like white marble.
