About us - Embassy Interiors

Embassy Interiors was borne by accident, during a conversation between two perfect strangers about the lamps which were hanging above the bar in which they happened to be that evening.

EMBASSY IS A PARTICULAR MARRIAGĒ OF TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS.

This was the beginning of a discussion which has continued from then on, and over time has become more emotional and intense. Embassy Interiors is the creation of Katarzyna Będzińska-Kowalczyk, an architect fascinated with the purity of modernist thinking, and the brand was the fruit of her collaboration with Nicholas Scott, a Brit residing in Poland, who for many years has been involved in the more emotional world of antiques.

I am enchanted by the style of Art Deco and at the same time passionate about the ideology of Bauhaus, which for me is the font of many values, even if instead of that almost biblical concept of “form follows function”

„FORM FOLLOWS BEAUTY
or even better,
FORM FOLLOWS FEMININE”

or even better,

Instead of that almost biblical concept of “form follows function”, I am more inclined to repeat after Oscar Niemeyer:

„FORM FOLLOWS BEAUTY or even better,
FORM FOLLOWS FEMININE”

I first came to Poland still during the Communist times, in search of industrial artefacts. Sometimes I would buy the light fittings of entire factories, and today they are still hanging in many bars in Amsterdam and London. I adored giving them a second life. I am sentimental by nature.

I LOVE OBJECTS WHICH HAVE A HISTORY.

We knew from the very start that we would like to work with glass,

BASED ON THE LONG TRADITION OF THE GLASS-MAKING CRAFT WHICH IN POLAND STRETCHES BACK FOR MANY CENTURIES

Nowadays, glass manufacturing is in decline,
but it can still become really appreciated,
also thanks to the projects such as ours.

THE LONG TRADITION OF THE GLASS-MAKING CRAFT IN POLAND

stretches back for many centuries

Details of our lamps are designed in the Embassy studio.
The metal parts are made in short series using solid brass,
which makes them strong, simple and in their own way majestic.

We believe in a world in which we will put limits on our needs, where we will buy thoughtfully and even more thoughtfully dispose of things. A world in which our surroundings will be complemented by objects of timeless and unpretentious shape, made from materials friendly for the environment.

WHEN PUTTING SUCH AN OBJECT INTO YOUR HANDS, WE WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE INSPIRATIONS WHICH ACCOMPANY THE DESIGNING PROCESS, AND TELL YOU THE STORIES BEHIND CREATING IT.

We welcome you to the light side of the world of Embassy!
