LUDISM is a story about the past that lives in the present, creating new quality and aesthetics, ideal for both private and business spaces.
At LUDISM, we believe that legends are more than just stories - they are echoes of the past, shaping our cultural identity and imagination. A unique artistic venture has emerged from the creative partnership of Piotr Maciaszek, Karol Pasternak, and Ola Niepsuj. The trio—combining the architectural expertise of NOKE Architects' founders with Niepsuj's renowned graphic design and artistic vision—has launched a brand offering playful contemporary furniture and home accessories deeply rooted in cultural storytelling.
Each piece embodies the spirit of Slavic lore, allowing these ancient legends to take new forms while preserving their essence. The brand represents a thoughtful bridge between history and contemporary design, folklore and modern aesthetics. Through their creations, LUDISM invites customers to rediscover the magic of Slavic mythology and bring its timeless mystique into their homes—a testament to the founders' long-standing passion for art and shared experiences that inspired them to create unique products embedded in local culture.
Invite Deities into Your home
LUDISM's first drop features six figurines forming the ‘Polish Legends’ collection – handmade objects balancing on the boundary between tradition and modern design. Syrenka, Marzanna, Wodnik, Lel and Polel, Chochoł, and Boruta leave the pages of forgotten tales to settle in spaces governed by aesthetics and functionality. They work as candleholders, incense burners, and bookends.
The statuettes evoke the spirit of times when magical beings inhabited rivers, forests, and fields – now dressed in modern form, ready to meet contemporary interiors and their inhabitants.
painted by hand - indpired by tradition
We design each piece with care, drawing inspiration from legends, folk patterns, and the spirit of old-world artistry. Each figurine bears the mark of artisanal precision – hand-painted, with fluid color gradients and geometric patterns inspired by Slavic symbolism — making no two alike. Which legend will you invite into your world?
