Viktor Palnychenko is an independent designer based in Tyrol, Austria, whose work explores the relationship between material, structure, and human interaction through collectible furniture and sculptural functional objects.

Working closely with local Alpine workshops and craftsmen, he combines practical construction knowledge with contemporary woodworking technologies, including CNC fabrication and modular assembly systems. His projects are developed through a process that values material honesty, tactile experience, and the natural aging of wood over time.

A central aspect of his practice is the use of regional Alpine materials such as Swiss stone pine (Zirbe) and spruce — woods traditionally connected to the culture and craftsmanship of the mountain region. Through small-series production and carefully considered construction methods, Palnychenko creates objects that balance sculptural presence with everyday use.

His work reflects an ongoing interest in slow living, sensory interaction, and the dialogue between traditional craft, contemporary design, and the quiet atmosphere of the Alpine landscape.
