Polish brand Pocoto Studio has added Kulen, a lamp handmade from natural linen in a local workshop in Poland, to its collection. Its simple, organic form and soft, diffused light create a calm, intimate atmosphere.
Linen as a light filter
Pocoto Studio’s designs explore the relationship between material and form. Its lamps are made in a Polish workshop outside the rhythms of mass production, through a process rooted in craft. The emphasis is on refining proportions and working with a material’s natural qualities, rather than adding decorative details.
For Kulen, linen gives the shade its shape while softening the light that passes through it. During the day, the fabric’s natural texture is its most noticeable feature. When the lamp is switched on in the evening, the weave becomes more pronounced and the light takes on a warmer tone.
A rounded form in a natural material
Kulen has a simple, rounded linen shade without sharp lines, glossy embellishments or elaborate details. It has a presence in the room without dominating it. The diffused light avoids a cold, clinical effect, reflecting Pocoto Studio’s focus on natural materials, simple forms and production that is not dictated by passing trends.
