KARST is a Berlin carpentry studio harmonising modern design and fine craftsmanship. Founded in 2018 by Ricarda Sophie Lorenz and Julien Budnik, the studio combines Julien’s technical expertise as a master carpenter with Ricarda’s incisive creative direction. Together, they work alongside architects and interior designers, and directly with individual clients, to realise custom interiors and original furniture pieces. Premised on a command of craft and a love for natural materials, Karst’s aesthetic sensibility blends modern and mid-century references across art, architecture and design. Harmonising function and form, the studio’s spaces and objects are characterised by exceptional materials, thoughtful detailing and precise finishes while each expressing a distinct individuality.
