The Maker

Aleksander Oniszh

Warsaw , Poland

Sculpted Forms In Quiet Tension

Aleksander Oniszh is a Warsaw-based designer and craftsman whose work explores the meeting point between intuition and discipline. Trained in architecture and shaped by years of hands-on experimentation, he approaches wood as a living material — something to be uncovered rather than controlled. His process is one of quiet subtraction: cutting, reacting, and allowing the form to emerge through gesture and grain. Rooted in deep respect for craft and the imperfect logic of nature, his objects embody a kind of calm tension — sculptural yet tactile, precise yet instinctive.

Working from his studio on the edge of a forest, Oniszh treats making as both a physical and reflective act. His finishes, born from alchemical reactions of wood, air, and time, reveal depth rather than surface. Each piece carries the trace of process — an imprint of movement and stillness intertwined. Beyond function, his work is an ongoing dialogue between material, memory, and presence — an honest, unhurried pursuit of form that feels both ancient and entirely his own.

“In my next body of work, I would like to focus on the notion of the absence of space and explore the question: where does this come from? The sculptural pieces I am interested in creating for the Orb are the result of stone extraction. Every element taken from the land where it belongs leaves a mark, revealed by the void that remains.”

Mahogany Folly Chair €4,750

Each piece is crafted from a single solid block of wood, carefully cut into smaller segments and then reassembled. This method is rooted in both function and structure, ensuring exceptional stability and durability. The composition of each glued element is deliberate — never random — creating a harmonious and balanced form. Every pattern is absolutely unique, making each chair one of a kind.
