The fireplaces of Polish company Manufaktura Ceramiczna sit like dramatic art installations, bold and contrasting with striking shapes, inventive textures, and vibrant colours.
Founded in 1995 by Krystyna Kaszuba-Wacławek, an artist who has been designing and sculpting stove and fireplace tiles since 1982, Manufaktura Ceramiczna has been churning out unique creations and restoring vintage stoves for three decades.
Both small scale furnaces and large incorporated fireplace structures are given presence with curated ceramic coverings that add dimension and decor in a range of innovative styles. From contemporary floor to ceiling statements in fire-red to earthy blends of organic shapes, Kaszuba-Wacławek’s hand-crafted creations effortlessly reflect the character of each interior.
Kaszuba-Wacławek’s attention to detail also extends to her designer walls – interior installations custom-made and uniquely personal to each space from a Mondrian-inspired feature shower to a raised ornamental reliefs.
