Pani Jurek is a design studio combined with a ceramics workshop, run by Magda Jurek and Michał Borecki. It operates at the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and art. The objects created by Studio Pani Jurek go beyond their stereotypical functions, with interactivity being an inherent feature. Conceived as elements of spatial compositions, they often change depending on their surroundings and users. A distinctive trait of the studio’s projects is colour, a result of Magda Jurek’s background in painting. While functionality is not the starting point in the creation process, it is never neglected. Ergonomics and design discipline help tame imagination and material. A fascination with materials, especially ceramics, and a deep respect for their possibilities and limitations are evident in every object created by Studio Pani Jurek.

The handmade process provides an element of surprise and uniqueness. The artisanal method means the maker has direct control over the entire process. Behind every manufactured item, from start to finish, there is a specific person, as well as the sum of their experience, talent, manual skills, material knowledge, and often … fatigue. One uses the full potential of one's movements, senses, and attention to create an object. This gives full control over the quality of the products and brings to the craft the essential human touch.

Pani Jurek's studio uses local resources. Small non-ceramic pieces are subcontracted to small craft workshops. Wooden objects from the TRN collection are made at Square Drop, one of the finest furniture preservation studios in the region, using traditional carpentry techniques.
