My name is    Przemek    Krawczyński, I live in Łódź, Poland. I started making gourd lamps in 2009 when, for the first time in my life, I accidently came across the gourd fruit. As soon as I made my first gourd lamp, which still has its place in my room, I knew that I want to make other lamps, and soon, it became the passion of my life. I’m a self-taught man. Since I started, I knew that I want to create something new, something different, something that would be of the unique style and quality.

Although I have always been drawn to different forms of visual art, first and foremost,    I have a scientific    mind. I    studied building engineering and for several years I worked in the architectonic office.    However,    in 2010 I have decided to quit my studies and my work and devote my time to doing something I loved the most. It was the time when I travelled to Senegal from where I brought African gourds which, since that time, became the raw material for my lamps.

Whenever I have free time, I enjoy playing the west african drums - djembe and dun duns. I swim, run, cycle, and read. For me, music is the inseparable part of my life, it inspires me and accompanies the hours I spend on working.

I love what I do, my work is my passion. What is more, I feel enormous satisfaction and motivation to keep on creating more lamps when I see how great an interest there is about my work and how much people appreciate it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
