Career

[edit]

After graduating in 2003, Serhii Makhno founded Makhno Studio, a multidisciplinary architecture[12], interior design[13], and product design firm.[14]

Architecture & Design

[edit]

The studio works in a style that combines Ukrainian authenticity[15], contemporary art, naturalness[16], and futurism.[17]

One of the main principles of the studio is to combine classical elements with modern ideas, using traditional crafts and techniques, but in a new context.[18]

During this time, Makhno Studio has won such global architectural awards as The Architecture MasterPrize[19], IIDA Awards[20], Restaurant & Bar Design Awards[21], SBID Awards[22], and others. In particular, the Shkrub project won several prestigious architectural awards simultaneously in 2020 and 2021.[23][24]

Art

[edit]

At the same time as the architecture and design studio, there is a ceramics workshop.[18] Across designs, Makhno’s work embodies the Japanese aesthetic and concept of wabi-sabi.[13][25]

Serhii Makhno and his team create furniture, lighting, tiles, and decor. In 2017, he received the international Red Dot Design Award for his ceramic tiles[26], and in 2024 - for innovative blocks made of "live" clay[27]. Also, in 2021, the Khmara ceramic lamp received the Grand Prix at the Big See Interior Design Awards[28] and an award from the Interior Design Magazine Awards[29]

In 2017, the studio presented the project "Transformation. Silence" at Paris Design Week[4] and the same year at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, the Netherlands[5]. In January 2019, the studio took part in Maison&Objet as part of the Ukrainian collective stand with the “Ukrsavana” project[30].

In 2019, Serhii and his studio presented the “Inside. Out” project at their 100-meter-long stand at iSaloni.Salone del Mobile.Milano. Euroluce. The composition of ceramic furniture and lamps was among the main trends of the exhibition according to ArchDaily[3]

In 2020, the Makhno Art Foundation was created to launch a new wave of Ukrainian art.[31]

In 2022, he released his first NFT collection of ceramic art, Meta Dido. Digital tokens reimagine a series of ceramic zoomorphic sculptures created and released in 2019 under "Dido".[32]

In November 2023, Zemlya's handmade ceramic furniture and decor collection was exhibited at Les Ateliers Courbet in New York, USA.[18]

In 2024, the studio's art objects became exhibits in the immersive theatrical show Wayne Enterprises Experience by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, DC, and Relevance International's Brand Experience & Partnerships, dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the Batman franchise. The recreated Bruce Wayne’s mansion featured items from the studio, specially created for this event.[33]
