Biography

We are Pulpas Studio. We design and produce objects. No slogans, no heroics.
Plastic, glass, metal, composites—materials chosen for their properties, availability, price, or contradiction. Plastics and “problematic” materials aren’t off limits; what matters is what they mean, not just how they look.
Our background is architecture, art, and design, but most of what we know comes from working directly with local workshops and suppliers. Every project is shaped by negotiation, adaptation, and problem-solving. What’s left at the end is what matters: decisions, limits, and sometimes compromise.
Every piece comes out of friction: industry and craft, function and aesthetics. If it works and means something, it stays. If not, it doesn’t.
Don’t expect objects that will save the world or a comforting story. Each piece is clear, precise, and stands on its own.
We create for those who value process, transparency, and real materials—even when they’re awkward or uncomfortable. The rest is just noise.
