Branik Studio is a brand founded in 2020 by Agata Knorowska, an interior designer with many years of experience. The brand arose from the need to change scale and popularize the unique properties of natural stone. Branik Studio proposes a new way to incorporate stone into interiors—not as a countertop or floor surface, but by introducing new, spatial, and sometimes very fine forms that enable the use of even small fragments of rock formed millions and billions of years ago.

The inspiration for the brand came from Agata's great-grandmother, Zofia Branik, born at the turn of the 20th century in Odessa, where she absorbed the influences of many cultures and rich architecture. Before the revolution, she returned to Poland with her family, where, despite difficult circumstances and the loss of her fortune, she managed to retain her zest for life and enjoy everyday details. Zofia Branik valued the nobility of materials, recognizing their value and beauty in even the smallest details. Her attitude and history became the foundation of the Branik Studio philosophy, which celebrates beauty in small, everyday pleasures.

The product components are created in various small workshops in southern Poland, where traditional craftsmanship is combined with passion and precision. They are then transported to the Warsaw atelier where the final products are crafted. Each object is created through the work of many hands, who carefully refine every detail before it reaches its owner.

MEET THE CREATORS

Branik Studio was born from a fascination with stone patterns, the intensity of color, and the diversity of marble, onyx, and quartzite. A deep understanding of the material and the promotion of the extraordinary properties of stone and ceramics are the foundation of the studio's work. A variety of media are utilized in the design process – the sculptural character of objects and their relationship to space are shaped simultaneously with color and formal compositions. The result is a collection of objects that combine functionality with unique artistic expression, enriching interiors of diverse styles and character.

Agata Knorowska – interior designer, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, also studied at the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz in Basel. Author of numerous designs published in prestigious magazines, she is responsible for the sculptural character of the objects and their relationship to the surrounding space.

Tomek Knorowski – painter, PhD, Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. His works are found in private and public collections in Poland and abroad. He creates color and form compositions, imbuing his objects with a unique visual language.
