Kickie Chudikova

Kickie Chudikova was born into color. Raised in Slovakia, she grew up in an old modernist house built by a renowned 1930s architect. Each wall was a different saturated hue left behind by the previous tenant – a painter. In the 1970s, her parents embraced the color, adding complimentary bright furnishings like red floral carpets, orange pendant lights and green kitchen cabinets. Today, Kickie says color is her comfort zone in life and work – it's easy to see why. From furniture and jewelry to glassware and lighting, Kickie approaches design with a focus on the emotional triggers behind color and form. With an emphasis on creating objects that spark joy, Kickie embraces sculptural, organic shapes that speak to our bodies and minds as humans. In Kickie’s world, design and optimism must go hand in hand.
