My name is Karol Okoński.

I live in Olsztyn – in the heart of the Land of a Thousand Lakes.
This green, peaceful region has inspired me for years to create lamps that combine nature, craftsmanship, and light.
Each lamp begins with a single gourd.
I work on each lamp for three to six months – fully by hand, with patience and precision.
Through careful sanding and the drilling of thousands of holes – from 7,000 up to 20,000 – I create patterns that, when the lamp is lit, paint soft, luminous compositions across the walls.
No two lamps are alike. Each one is unique – just like the place it comes from.
I believe in beauty that takes time.
I believe we need more stillness, more wonder.
The world moves fast – and I want to remind us: it doesn’t have to.
My lamps have already been shipped to the USA, Great Britain, Spain, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.
If you’re looking for something more than light – you’re in the right place.
To create lamps I use only my own intelligence and my own hands.
