Malwina Konopacka is a Warsaw born designer and illustrator whose practice explores the intersection of contemporary design, illustration, and sculpture. Born in 1982, she studied Industrial Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and illustration at the Universität der Künste in Berlin. Her early career in editorial illustration shaped a distinctive visual language, later translated into three dimensional form through the seminal OKO ceramic collection, initiated in 2014.

Handcrafted and hand painted in collaboration with skilled artisans and ceramic technologists, Konopacka’s works transform everyday objects into expressive forms that balance function with artistic presence. The evolving OKO collection has expanded into tableware and sculptural compositions, including ceramic totems and installations that occupy the space between design and contemporary art. Her practice is distinguished by a refined graphic sensibility, material integrity, and a playful yet sophisticated approach to form. Her works are held in private collections and in the design collection of the National Museum in Kraków, and are exhibited internationally.
