Kickie Chudikova

Kickie Chudikova is an industrial designer born and raised in Bratislava, Slovakia, and based in Brooklyn, New York. She took a master’s degree in industrial design at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and opened her own studio in 2020, after working across product, furniture and lighting.

Her work is sculptural and colour-driven, built on glass, iron and stone and on the tension between craft and industrial process: blown Murano glass lamps, cast pieces, limited editions made with craftsmen. She has collaborated with Gantri, Zafferano and HEP and shown at Alcova in Milan, Collectible in New York and the India Design Salon in New Delhi; Pulpopolis, her 2024 Alcova installation, carried her into the Milan design week press. She also lectures and speaks regularly on design.
