Mariusz Malecki, the designer and the owner of the brand Studio Ziben, was born in Poland. His childhood and youth are dominated by the socialist design of the eastern block. After graduating from high-school he started to study design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan (PL) and Minerva Academy in Groningen (NL). During his studies he started to make his first designs and worked for polish furniture industry. In 2007 he moved to Berlin to create his own furniture brand.
Studio-Ziben is a collection of different ideas. It is not a guideline for an interior programme. Full of humour, timeless and refreshing is the furniture of this new design-brand – based and founded in 2009 in Berlin.
Here you can find a wine box which has been turned into a side-table, a highboard cut in the middle, a colorful bar stool, a vitrine with an old window as a door. Here you can order your individually designed products, a fitted or built-in cupboard, kitchen furniture, hall stand, table, sideboard or appartament furnishings.
The ideas for the furniture and design objects evolve from personal associations and images. Opposites attract, come together and complement each other. Recycling plays a big part in the development. Freedom, free thinking and spontainity join together or show an antithesis to functionality, aesthetics and timelessness – in the search for pleasure.
