GLINO

At GLINO, traditional materials meet modern tools, with digital design and 3D printing used to explore new forms while remaining rooted in simplicity and material honesty. The studio creates thoughtful, well-crafted pieces that are subtle, tactile, and enduring. Each product reflects the belief that good design lives in the details—the curve of a form, the play of light on a surface, and the quiet presence of natural material in a room.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Aleksander Cifer, architect, designer, and founder of GLINO, a ceramic studio in Ljubljana, Slovenia, creates timeless, functional objects for contemporary interiors. His work reflects a deep curiosity for materials, craftsmanship, and technology. Drawn to the textures, weight, and imperfections of natural materials, he transforms clay experiments into a dedicated studio practice that blends architectural thinking with design and making.
