Oleg Pugachev graduated from the Weissensee Academy of Art Berlin in 2013 with a degree in product design. He began his career as a freelance designer, collaborating with various design and architecture firms, including Sauerbruch Hutton, Studio 7.5, and Formfjord, while also pursuing self-initiated projects. Eventually, he established his own studio in Berlin, focusing on furniture, home accessories, and lighting.
His style is defined by a commitment to distilling design to its essence, while celebrating the beauty of intricate detail. Both pragmatic and open to the unexpected, he allows the creative process to guide the evolution of each project, resulting in objects that are timeless yet modern, functional yet expressive, a design language that is thoughtful, balanced, and deeply human.
