I am a designer and photographer, specializing in minimalism and sustainability. My work in product design focuses on the use of natural materials such as wood, leather, metal, stone, and ceramics, with a deep commitment to environmental responsibility throughout the product's life cycle. I also engage in brand creation, web design, and graphic design, preferring to work with brands, companies, and creators who share my philosophical outlook on design. As a photographer, I specialize in interior and product shots, but I also enjoy capturing crafts, processes, manufacturing, and my greatest passion lies in photographing nature during travels.

Client | Atelier Paletky s.r.o. |

Description | In this collaboration with Atelier Paletky, I designed and produced prototypes of several wooden products made from single-use pallets. This project focused on upcycling waste wood, specifically exotic woods from various parts of the world such as Japanese cedar, larch, mahogany, merbau, bubinga, and many others. My main goal was to transform these diverse materials into sustainable and functional products. Each piece is designed to highlight the unique character of the used wood species, while also contributing to ecological sustainability through recycling and reuse. For production, I not only utilized wood from pallets but also pallet nails and leather elements derived from offcuts from large-scale production. |
