About us.

About Olshbau.

We are Lena and Dmitry Olshevskiy, the creators behind Olshbau. For over a decade, we designed minimalist home decor in Ukraine, crafting bookends, bookmarks, and metal furniture.

In 2022, war forced us to leave our home and workshop. After two years in Gdańsk, Poland, we found our way back to creativity. Inspired by Suprematism and Bauhaus, we launched Olshbau—a studio where shapes and colors take center stage.

The name blends “Olsh” (from Olshevskiy) and “bau” (German for “build”). We design by hand, using paper, glue, and paint to explore form and color. Dmitry shapes the structures; Lena brings them to life.

Olshbau is about simplicity, expression, and a new beginning. Welcome.
