Grad Design family company with many years of experience in design and production of modern furniture.


The manufacture is made by highly specialized employees, and each piece of furniture is hand-made in Poland, with attention to each detail.


We observe trends and participate in them in a creative way. We strive to obtain the most perfect forms and use the most hidden possibilities of materials. We are always looking for new, creative solutions to be able to fulfill dreams of a space organized by well-designed and skillfully made furniture.



We combine the mastery of craftsmanship with professionalism in our approach to the client. A completely new interpretation of traditional craft techniques allows us to implement projects in line with the latest trends in design, adapted to modern technologies. We send most of our products to Germany and Switzerland.


I am a certified designer of industrial products. I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan at the Faculty of Industrial Design under the supervision of prof. Rajmund Hałas. I defended my thesis at the Department of Furniture Design under prof. Czesław Kowalski, becoming his assistant.

I design not only on the computer, but above all in the workshop, where I experiment with new technologies and make models and prototypes myself. Mastering the craft, for which I have great respect, allows me to carry out my projects with attention to every detail. In Berlin, I designed exclusive furniture and furnished interiors for the most demanding clients. At their request, I introduced gold and silver to my projects.

Experimenting with traditional techniques of covering surfaces with metallic coatings and testing new methods, I developed my own technique of decorating furniture with gold, silver and metal leaf.

Today I work with well-known German brands, for which I design and produce furniture in my workshop in Poland. Under the GRAD brand, I design for developers, interior designers and individual clients, mainly in Germany and Switzerland. I offer projects in line with the latest global trends, implemented using my own techniques, with attention to every detail. The furniture from my workshop is hand-made in Poland, by highly qualified craftsmen, for whom work is not only a duty, but also a passion.
