It's Me
I'm Dmitry Zubarev. I make lamps, sculptures, and collectible interior pieces. I used to call KB-14 a workshop, but now it's more of a laboratory of meanings and forms, where design and production merge through ideas.
My work bridges art and engineering. I design lighting that anchors a space, objects with a story, and sculptures that articulate their material. The core is the designer lamp as a unique object – not for mass production or imitation, but crafted for a precise brief.
Alongside this, I curate design projects, guiding designers, architects, and brands from initial sketch to final production. I translate creative vision into practical terms of tech, materials, limitations, and budget. This crucial part of my work grew from my own experience producing my pieces and engaging with countless manufacturers.
KB-14 stays in the name, now standing not just for decorative forms, but for a philosophy: respect for the journey, precision in form and meaning, and a deep understanding of why we create.

Here's what I create, solo and collaboratively.
Light, sculpture, photography. Some pieces are already with clients. Others remained ideas, yet shaped my approach. All projects are solutions. Not a search, but a conclusion.
Here's how I can help
If you have an idea but aren't sure how to bring it to life, I'll help you achieve the desired outcome. If you need form, logic, and structure, I'll combine them into a cohesive object. If the task is complex, I'll take on the entire project turnkey.

This is where everything that didn't fit into project descriptions lives. Observations accumulated during the process. Ideas that don't yet require a concrete form. Questions I find intriguing to explore. Reflections on my own work. All of this is also part of the practice.
