pulpo is a design editor dedicated to high-end products for the contemporary home, operating at the intersection of design, art, and craftsmanship. Founded in 2006 by Ursula and Patrick L’hoste, the brand was conceived as a platform where form and material engage in a continuous, expressive dialogue. Design is pulpo’s passion; art is its driving force.
Deeply inspired by the tactile processes of ceramic ateliers and glassblowing workshops, pulpo embraces the raw, imperfect beauty inherent in hand-crafted production. The brand curates lighting, furniture, and accessories through a highly selective editorial approach, collaborating with emerging designers and carefully chosen manufacturers. Material acts as the guiding score of each project, with ceramics, stone, and above all glass—pulpo’s primary focus since 2013—shaping both aesthetic and narrative.
Headquartered in Weil am Rhein, near the Swiss border, pulpo’s creative and sales teams, warehouse, and logistics operations form a vibrant think tank for its network of artists and designers. From this hub, pulpo has built an international presence, with a dealer network extending from Iceland and Dubai to Australia.
United by a shared belief in beauty, nature, and craftsmanship, pulpo continues to evolve as a living movement—driven by curiosity, possibility, and enduring passion.
