Mateusz Palucki is a Polish designer and artisan whose practice explores the intersection of collectible design, craftsmanship and the decorative arts. Based between Paris and Poland, he develops furniture, lighting and sculptural objects in his atelier, working alongside his brother Robert Palucki, an artisan specialising in woodworking, construction and lighting.More than a decade of working as an artisan in France has shaped Mateusz’s hands-on approach to creation, fostering an intimate understanding of materials, traditional techniques and the relationship between an idea and its physical realisation. His visual language draws on the elegance and material richness of Art Deco, the organic lines of Art Nouveau and the expressive possibilities of biomorphism. Nature serves as a constant source of inspiration, particularly its structural forms, animal anatomy and the balance between geometry and organic growth.The brothers’ work brings together sculptural silhouettes, tactile surfaces and contrasting materials. Solid oak, reclaimed and bog oak, ash, leather, shagreen and brass form part of their material vocabulary. Each is selected for its particular character, texture and expressive potential, allowing the material itself to contribute to the identity of each object.
