Their works embody a commitment to natural materials, organic forms, and an enduring inspiration drawn from nature. Each piece in their collection showcases meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
The founders of the architectural studio FUNKT, Maria Baleva and Ilian Hadjiin, initially delved into product design, which eventually evolved into a profound dedication to craftsmanship. Over time, Maria found solace in ceramics, while Ilian's lifelong passion for woodworking continues to shape her creations.
Maria's porcelain creations, presented under the Pottery&Poetry label, radiate delicate elegance, while their collaborative project, &HUE, seamlessly marries the warmth of wood with the sophistication of porcelain.
