About Our Studio - Phogrynaighik.world

Our Story

Founded in the heart of Tokoroa, New Zealand, Phogrynaighik.world began as a small workshop with a grand vision: to create art decor that transcends trends and becomes timeless additions to homes around the world.

Our studio draws inspiration from the ancient Greek tradition of combining beauty with functionality. Every vase, sculpture, and art object we create is a testament to this philosophy - pieces that are not merely decorative, but meaningful expressions of artistry that enhance daily life.

Working with premium materials including concrete, sustainably sourced wood, and hand-blown glass, our artisans bring decades of combined experience to every creation. We believe in slow craftsmanship, where each piece receives the time and attention it deserves.
