Perler Design

Perler Design is the vision of Katherine Szyc, founder and creative director, who works at the intersection of art and design through the medium of Jesmonite. From coffee and dining tables to consoles and sculptural objects, her creations embody a language of minimalism enriched with texture, form, and cultural resonance.

Beyond her own practice, Katherine actively seeks out remarkable artistic talents across Poland, initiating collaborations that honor both her authorship and the artistry of her peers. Each project begins with her concept, sketches, and direction, and is then realized through the skilled hands of collaborating artists. This approach eschews mass production in favor of individuality, resulting in one-of-a-kind works that embody both collective creativity and singular vision.

The studio’s collaborative ethos takes many forms: Jesmonite side tables designed by Katherine become canvases for painters to create original oil and acrylic compositions; ceramicists hand-build vessels from her sketches; and limited-edition pieces emerge where her sculptural bases meet distinctive surface treatments by guest artists.

Every work produced by Perler Design is meticulously handcrafted, existing not merely as functional furniture but as applied art. Each piece carries its own narrative—a testament to the fusion of sculptural form, artisanal mastery, and collaborative spirit—reflecting the studio’s enduring commitment to authentic design and craftsmanship.
