Maxim Kulik
Ukrainian designer and the founder of the kint brand
Almost my entire life has been intertwined with the furniture business. From a young age, I assisted my father in his workshop, where he was renowned as the best carpenter in my hometown of Novovolynsk (Volyn region).
Subsequently, I pursued studies at a construction and architecture university, and upon graduating, I realized my passion for further development in object design. In 2020, I decided to establish my own brand with a core principle: furniture should be created by a designer, and kint should bring all ideas to life and offer them to the consumer.
For me, the most essential value is people. I firmly believe teamwork and dedication to one's work are paramount in both business and life. kint products are the outcome of collaborative efforts, and with the contribution of each member of our team, unique furniture with added meanings is born. Our customers sense this energy. For the sake of such a feeling, we engage in this fascinating business, never content with our achievements, and actively propel forward, embracing new challenges.

"Creativity is more than just a job; it's a business that I live through, a means by which I convey my emotions, thoughts, and experiences. With each object I create, I fully immerse myself in a rich life, dedicating myself entirely to the creation process and exploring forms, lines, and proportions. My objective is to alter the way we perceive the world around us. I firmly believe that we are defined by what surrounds us."
