Plavnyk is a functional lamp, an exclusive interior solution, and a self-sufficient art object by MAKHNO Studio simultaneously. It combines natural eco-friendly materials with a futuristic shape. The lamp is made of handcrafted clay, making it one of the most impressive pieces of lighting design in the world. This piece harmonizes with any space, creating an atmosphere of smoothness and balance, as "Plavnyk" means "fin" in Ukrainian.

According to legend, the renowned architect and designer Serhіi Makhno conceived the concept of Plavnyk while contemplating the moonlight on the waves of a nighttime lake. A swift stream of light guided by soft clay shores—a juxtaposition of movement and static. This uniqueness is embodied in the lamp's exquisite design.

The product is handcrafted in the MAKHNO ceramic workshop by hereditary ceramists and potters using authentic techniques. Clay itself is one of the most eco-friendly materials, and we have further improved our processes to ensure even greater sustainability.

It takes over two weeks to mould, bake, and finish each lamp. Apart from clay, there are options for manufacturing using copper or other eco-friendly materials. Handmade production allows for the creation of objects in almost any size, with the most spectacular Plavnyks reaching heights of over two meters!

The luminaire provides professionals with ample opportunities to create individual design solutions. The texture of Plavnyk can be either smooth or corrugated, and the handmade approach allows for experimentation with colour and ornamentation. This product will serve as the centrepiece of any interior, balancing naturally oriented, high-tech, classic, or stylistically diverse contexts.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that Plavnyk is a work of art in itself, evident in every aspect of its appearance and manufacturing process. MAKHNO Studio is globally renowned for design solutions that bridge authentic centuries-old techniques with hyper-modern artistic concepts.

Therefore, Plavnyk not only adds exclusivity, balance, and integrity to any space but also becomes a unique emotional artefact for all who see or touch it."
