Michał Markiewicz
Designer, interior architect, co-founder and main creator of the UMMO Lighting brand. He comes from Gdansk, Poland, where he developed a passion for design from an early age. Even as a child he created lamps from available materials, rearranging lampshades and experimenting with form. Over time, he naturally gravitated towards interior design and industrial design, combining functionality with aesthetics in his own way.
He graduated with a degree in Interior Design, and also gained experience as a jewelry and furniture designer. Today he focuses on lighting, which he treats as “jewelry of the interior.” - It not only complements the space, but becomes its focal point. He draws inspiration from everyday life: forms, textures and shapes present in the environment.
His creative process involves a journey from sketch to prototype and final product, with functionality being paramount - each lamp must not only catch the eye, but also shine well. Michał's designs are dominated by recyclable materials: metal, glass, wood. UMMO's style is recognizable for its distinctive form and color, as well as its attention to quality and timelessness.
For Michał, local production and sustainable design are particularly important to minimize environmental impact and promote conscious design. UMMO Lighting is a brand that, through his vision, combines aesthetics with responsibility and craftsmanship with modernity.
Alicja Korbut - founder and designer of Salak Studio
Alicja Korbut is a designer with an expressive style and an intuitive approach to form, colour and material. As the founder of Salak Studio, she combines design precision with emotional narrative in her work, creating spaces and objects that tell stories - personal, sensual and timeless.
Her aesthetic oscillates between subtle minimalism and artistic gesture. She often reaches for natural raw materials and organic structures, exploring the relationship between function and expression. She treats each project as a dialogue - with the user, with space, with culture.
Design education and experience gained both locally and abroad translate into the mature visual language that defines Salak Studio. Alicia is not afraid of experimentation while respecting craftsmanship - her designs are balanced but never obvious.
Her work is guided by the idea of authenticity - she believes that design only makes sense when it flows from a genuine need and a sincere creative process.
