" MK Studio , a ceramics workshop that supplies discerning local restaurants, shop for hand-thrown cups, plates and bowls that blur the line between tableware and art. " - The New York Times "Magdalena Kaluzna was still producing porcelain in her Copenhagen kitchen when she got a call from an up-and-coming Danish chef named Kristian Baumann. He wan... ted her to make tableware for his new restaurant 108 a spinoff of Noma. The 24-year-old Pole couldnt believe her luck. Eighteen months earlier she had moved to Denmark with her boyfriend and business partner, Michal Wlodarek, after he was offered a position in Copenhagen as a chef. A fine-arts graduate, Kaluzna decided to pursue a career in pottery. In Denmark, she says, everyone appreciates ceramics and good design. She soon found a studio on a cobblestoned street in Copenhagens trendy Norrebro district, and began working on Baumanns initial order of 1,500 plates. I had never seen that many plates, she laughs. As 108 grew in popularity, Kaluznas own star rose. Today she produces elegant, playful porcelain for several top-tier clients in Copenhagen including Relae, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and the trendy Coffee Collective chain. And she continues to develop her designs with tips and feedback from baristas and chefs: They tell me so many things I never think about, she says." - The New York Times "Mk Ceramics Studio produces work with clean lines and deep, rich colors, rendered so expertly that youll have trouble believing they were made by hand.
