I designed and 3D printed a one-of-a-kind lamp inspired by a thrift store find and the Mid Century Modern printable. It’s called Soft Glow and it’s up for grabs—plus, I talk about the design process and future projects.

👋 Hi, I’m Maksym Kondratiew — a designer who got tired of screens and turned to wood, glass, and light.

I used to design interfaces, reaching millions through pixels. But over time, that contact felt hollow. I needed a different connection — not through cursors, but through my hands. That’s how my lamps were born.

They are more than just light. They are a way to slow down the chaos. To take something old, forgotten — and give it new life. Each lamp I make comes from real materials, real effort, and a real desire to create warmth, not just a “product.”

I’m not an industrial designer. I’m a product, furniture, and freeform designer. My work doesn’t shout — it glows.

Here I share my process, struggles, inspiration, and growth. If you’re drawn to the kind of light our grandfathers might have passed down — light that warms rather than blinds — you’re in the right place.

Through design, I change the world — even if just for a few evenings in someone’s home.

Australian designer Tom Fereday has once again blurred the lines between functional object and sculptural form with the creation of the Nola Lamp for design brand Nau. Using hand-cast crystal glass and carved solid stone, Fereday has designed a lighting piece that exudes tranquility, timelessness, and refined materiality. #design #lampdesign
