👋 Hi, I’m Maksym Kondratiew — a designer who got tired of screens and turned to wood, glass, and light.

I used to design interfaces, reaching millions through pixels. But over time, that contact felt hollow. I needed a different connection — not through cursors, but through my hands. That’s how my lamps were born.

They are more than just light. They are a way to slow down the chaos. To take something old, forgotten — and give it new life. Each lamp I make comes from real materials, real effort, and a real desire to create warmth, not just a “product.”

I’m not an industrial designer. I’m a product, furniture, and freeform designer. My work doesn’t shout — it glows.

Here I share my process, struggles, inspiration, and growth. If you’re drawn to the kind of light our grandfathers might have passed down — light that warms rather than blinds — you’re in the right place.

Through design, I change the world — even if just for a few evenings in someone’s home.

From today, new EU ecodesign and energy labelling rules apply to smartphones, cordless phones and tablets placed on the EU market. Designed to boost the product lifespan, energy efficiency, and ease of repair, the measures will also help consumers make more informed and sustainable purchasing choices.

Lilbits: Europe’s new Ecodesign rules for smartphones and tablets, Samsung’s new Exynos 2500 processor, and postmarketOS 25.06

The European Union’s Ecodesign rules for smartphones and tablets took effect on June 20th, which means that devices in those categories will need to meet certain repairability, upgradeability, battery life, and software update requirements. Some critics say the rules don’t go far enough, but we’re already starting to see some device makers announce updates in order to meet the new […]

New European Union rules require phone makers to offer security updates for 5 years, make spare parts available for 7 years, and include repairability and durability labels. But a last-minute change means that displays don't need to be user-replaceable. ifixit.com/News/111220/ecodesi

iFixit · Ecodesign for Smartphones: Two Steps Forward, One Step BackBy Manuel Haeussermann

The EU’s new Ecodesign rules for smartphones require 7-year parts availability, 5-year software updates, and repairability info on labels. 🔧

However, last-minute changes limit self-repair by removing user-replaceable screen mandates.

The law improves sustainability but keeps barriers to full consumer repair rights. 📱

iFixit · Ecodesign for Smartphones: Two Steps Forward, One Step BackBy Manuel Haeussermann
#EU#Europe#Europa

Yesterday in a phone repair shop they told me about firmware vs. software, which puzzled me. And now that a) "explains" a lot, why manufacturers are not updating their OS. They treat smartphones like WiFi routers, not laptops, software wise. Even though flash, CPU cores, complexity etc. make them more similar to a laptop. Only apps get regular updates. And b) that makes me worried if vendors might use that as a loophole for the new, upcoming #EU #Ecodesign Regulation: heise.de/en/news/From-June-20-

Kännykkämaailma muuttuu kolmen viikon päästä isolla kädellä

Euroopan Unionin uusi Ecodesign-lainsäädäntö astuu voimaan 20.6. ja se vaatii mm. sen, että kaikkiin uusiin kännyköihin täytyy taata ohjelmistopäivitykset vähintään viiden vuoden ajan.

Vaatimus iskee etenkin halpoihin kännyköihin, joiden päivityslupaus on ollut yleensä kahden vuoden luokkaa.

Dirty design manifesto

Publico este Manifiesto de Marjanne van Helvert sobretodo a fin de difundir estas ideas pero también como una declaración de intenciones de la dirección en la que pretendo orientar mi trabajo. No pretendo tomarme estos puntos como un dogma, es más en la letra pequeña del manifiesto dice que no se debe tomar como dogma, pero si quiero avanzar en la dirección que señalan estos puntos.
