An architect by training,
a craftsman by instinct
Witoldd Szostak creates sculptural fans, furniture, lighting and interiors. Based in Kraków, Szostak Atelier is an independent, family-run practice built around his creative vision.
The art of engineering
Raised in a family of architects, Witold has always been fascinated by more than buildings. Classic cars, wooden speedboats, aviation and early modernism have shaped his approach to design — one that finds beauty in exposed mechanisms, thoughtful construction and unexpected combinations of materials.

An ongoing experiment
Behind every finished object lies a process of experimentation, problem-solving and meticulous handwork. From shaping raw materials to refining the smallest mechanical details, Witold remains personally involved in bringing his designs to life.
