In the Studio with Jakub Kubica: Brutalism, Silence, and Sci-Fi Futures

Somewhere between the ruins of the future and the elegance of restraint lies the work of Jakub Kubica — a designer-archaeologist excavating beauty from the bones of forgotten worlds.

Echoes of a Silent Future

In his Berlin studio, fragments of imagined histories come alive through metal, glass, and void. His objects feel like they’ve survived some celestial collapse — relics of a civilization that prized quietude and precision above all else. But make no mistake: these are not remnants. They are signals.

Kubica’s practice lives in tension — between presence and disappearance, the hyper-industrial and the monastic. He speaks of design like a form of storytelling, where every curve and corner is a clue. Referencing Brutalism, sci-fi epics, and the erosion of time, his pieces evoke architecture more than furniture — less for living in than for contemplating the act of existence itself.
