TYFORMY is a Czech porcelain studio working across applied arts, jewellery, and large-scale outdoor sculptures. Founded in 2011 and led by Pavla Vachunová — a graduate of the Ceramics and Porcelain Studio at UMPRUM Prague — the studio blends traditional craft with innovative approaches that often push the limits of the material itself.

Vachunová’s artistic language reflects experience gained through professional residencies in Germany and China, enriched by a strong foundation in conceptual thinking.

A defining element of TYFORMY’s work is the dialogue between the designer’s roots in the White Carpathians — a hilly borderland between the Czech Republic and Slovakia where many pieces are created — and contemporary design. The studio’s identity is shaped by themes of tradition reinterpreted for the present, the search for form and meaning, and the interplay of strength and fragility.

TYFORMY’s creations stand out through their refined forms, material clarity and poetic sensibility, emerging at the intersection of craft, landscape and contemporary experimentation.
