Serhii Makhno, a prolific architect, designer, ceramist, and collector, stands at the forefront of the modern Ukrainian design movement. With a career spanning over two decades, his multidisciplinary expertise manifests in more than 600 projects spread across 25 countries, earning him and his studio recognition on the global stage. His studio, an embodiment of his multifaceted vision, houses a ceramic workshop, furniture, and lighting design atelier, and a team of adept architects and designers. Serhii’s creations, whether in architecture or objets d’art, are deeply influenced by the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic. This philosophy resonates in his works, especially his series of lights, which are characterized by their textured, sculptural silhouettes. Each ceramic piece, crafted by hand in his Kyiv studio, undergoes meticulous glazing processes to achieve its distinct textured appearance. Marrying contemporary design with age-old traditions, Serhii seamlessly weaves his Ukrainian cultural and design heritage with inspirations drawn from the timeless beauty of nature. Notably, he and his studio are members of the Society of British and International Interior Design and have been lauded as winners in numerous Ukrainian and international design competitions.
