Andriy Chuba is the founder of Pikart Lights, a Ukrainian company renowned for its custom lighting solutions that merge traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Under his leadership, Pikart Lights has earned both local and international acclaim, adapting to contemporary design trends and collaborating with architects and designers to create distinctive lighting fixtures that elevate interior spaces. Chuba’s emphasis on using high-quality materials and creating visually striking pieces has set Pikart Lights apart within the competitive lighting industry.
Educated at Stanford University Graduate School of Business and Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Chuba comes from a strong academic background. Founded in Lviv in 2000, Pikart initially specialised in artistic metal castings, shifting its focus in 2014 to bespoke lighting. This change allowed the company to work closely with designers and architects, resulting in one-of-a-kind lighting pieces for both residential and commercial spaces, where each fixture balances quality craftsmanship with innovative design.
Pikart’s design philosophy is rooted in the belief that lighting should balance aesthetics, functionality, and elegance. By using materials like brass and copper and traditional techniques that add historical authenticity, Pikart’s creations integrate seamlessly into various interiors, making each space warmer and more sophisticated. The company’s blend of modern minimalist forms and time-honoured materials has enabled Pikart Lights to produce timeless lighting pieces, highly valued by clients.
Despite significant challenges posed by the ongoing war in Ukraine, Pikart has continued to innovate and grow, supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which has helped Pikart maintain operational resilience and efficiency. This backing has allowed the company to uphold its commitment to quality, adapting to changing markets while remaining true to its core principles of craftsmanship and design excellence.
