Dot Objects

Dot Objects works in two materials only: steel and wood. Founded in 2024 by Wiktoria Markiewicz, who trained in Interior Architecture & Furniture Design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, the studio treats restraint as a form of honesty rather than a limitation.

Every steel component is welded by a trusted metalworker in Poland; every wooden element is hand-oiled in-house. The chain stays short and visible, from raw material to finished object, and the objects carry that transparency in their form: flat planes, sharp folds, structure left in view rather than concealed.

Markiewicz designs from a conviction that furniture should register individuality rather than smooth it away — that craftsmanship and accessibility are not opposites, and that a home built from considered objects looks different from one built from uniform ones.

Dot Objects does not exhibit inside Maison d’Artiste so much as furnish it. The grid structures — steel folded into shelf, table, holder — are what other makers’ work is placed on and within, across the rooms of the sixth floor. That is a different kind of exposure than a plinth or a wall: the object has to hold weight, survive handling and keep working after the doors close, while still reading as considered rather than merely functional.

It is a fitting test for a practice built on the idea that restraint is not the absence of character. In a house, furniture is what makes daily use and formal presence coexist — exactly the territory Dot Objects has been designing for since 2024.
