Maria Kazimierczak

Limerick, Ireland

Maria Kazimierczak is a product designer working across a spectrum of objects that extend beyond pure function, bringing beauty into everyday use. In her projects, she frequently draws inspiration from water, aquatic life, and sailing. Movement, fluidity, and experimentation are central elements of her design journey. She loves to design pieces that are not stiff or static, but instead require care and adaptation, objects that change, grow, and evolve, much like lakes and their biospheres. Her research focuses on bridging beauty, usability, and sustainability within design practices related to water.

"Flux" is a collection named after the constant motion and flow of both water and fabric. It is made from old, discarded sails, combined with natural fibers and pigments. Natural dyes and fibers are used to create graphic representations of lakes on the sewn garments, while the stiffer, more structural sailcloth reintroduces ideas of circularity and life by the water.
