We are so happy to be so vastly featured in both the print and online edition of . Dear Marie Börekci, thank you so much for noticing us and dedicating this beautiful, wide-ranging article to our manufactory. It is people like you, true lovers of craftsmanship, who keep our almost century-old tradition of tile making alive and help it find new fans every day.
It is our pleasure to share the work we pour so much heart into with anyone brave enough to stop following trends and instead follow the voice of beauty, imagination and true craftsmanship that places the human being at the center of creation. We are sharing with you some of our favourite quotes:
“What makes Królik interesting is not just the product, but also the story behind it. It’s a manufactory that builds stoves for kings while simultaneously collaborating with a contemporary designer. A company that deliberately includes the term “Kaflarnia” in its name because the word is otherwise in danger of disappearing from Polish – and because preserving a craft also preserves its language.”
"Żeromska is known for transforming everyday objects into something magical without losing touch with reality. Her approach, which she describes as “Design for Craftsmanship,” reverses the conventional relationship: design serves craftsmanship, not the other way around."
“On the edge of the Podlasie Forest, not far from the city, handcrafted goods are now being brought into the spotlight:Królik, a brand that combines Polish craftsmanship and contemporary design into something truly unique. When you think of handmade tiles, your thoughts quickly drift south: to Italy, Spain, and of course, Portugal. However, the reality is quite different these days. Most tiles come from China and are therefore mass-produced. But in the small town of Hryniewicze, in an unassuming workshop on the edge of the forest, tiles have been made by hand for three generations.”
