ZBOZHZHA

ZBOZHZHA is the sustainable design studio of product designer Ivan Kruk, who left his previous job in 2022 to design and handcraft lamps and home decor. Roughly a year went into developing the technology and the studio’s own material based on recycled cardboard, clay and minerals, which makes every piece eco-friendly and fully biodegradable, a tribute to the nature it came from.

The first collection of pendant lamps, led by the Pershy debut model, comes in four textures and three sizes with colour customisation on request; a second design, Patchvara, follows biomorphic lines. Each shade is made by hand in several stages with the author’s technique, so pieces of the same model differ slightly in shape, weight and shade, while organic, imperfect surfaces draw on the aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
