PletoStudio is a collectible design studio founded by Alina Maslenko, focusing on sculptural lighting and objects that explore the relationship between material, form, and emotion. The studio works at the intersection of art and design, creating pieces that function not only as objects but as atmospheric presences within a space.

At the core of PletoStudio’s practice is its proprietary material, Pleto Biocomposite — a natural blend of clay, hemp fibers, cellulose, wood shavings, and eco-friendly binders. This material allows for expressive, tactile forms that carry a sense of rawness and depth, emphasizing the beauty of imperfection and the passage of time. Each piece is handcrafted, making every object unique and impossible to fully replicate.

The studio’s work is deeply influenced by themes of ritual, stillness, and material presence. Rather than focusing on decorative function alone, PletoStudio creates objects that invite a slower, more conscious interaction with space. The forms are often organic and sculptural, inspired by natural structures and intuitive processes.

Alina’s background in working with natural materials and her intuitive approach to form-making shape the identity of the studio. The practice is driven by experimentation and a sensitivity to material behavior, allowing each object to evolve naturally during its creation.

PletoStudio positions itself within the realm of collectible design, where objects carry both functional and artistic value. Each piece is conceived as a lasting artifact — a quiet, tactile expression of material and form.
