I’m Kim Prokopowich, the artist behind Studio50. Since 2011, I've been captivated by concrete's versatility, hand-pouring and sculpting pieces that bring both beauty and function to your home.
In my small-batch studio in Paris, Ontario, I craft each design using sustainable methods, always mindful of minimizing waste and environmental impact. Over the years I have refined my custom techniques that give my concrete work its unique traits, resulting in distinctive pieces that reflect the raw, warm “perfectly imperfect" beauty of the material.
I believe that the pieces we choose for our homes should not only serve a purpose but also tell a story. Home is a reflection of your journey, growth, and discoveries made along the way.
After renovating our first home, we realized the need for more creative space. Despite my initial hesitation about another fixer-upper, in 2014 we couldn't resist the beautiful two-acre property with its century-old barn, that is my studio space, and American four-square rumoured to have been purchased out of the Sears catalogue, I call home. So, once again my husband and I are slowly making our vision of home come to life, bit by bit.
Tala and Finnely our two rescue cattle dogs make sure I take time to enjoy all the simple pleasures in life, like tending to the vegetable gardens and expanding perennial beds, which provide endless inspiration for my hand-sculpted vases. In a blink, my babies are -off to college- and I now really understand what my mom meant when she offered these words of wisdom so many years ago—slow-down, soak up the little moments, time truly flies.
I invite you to explore the collections of concrete curiosities and discover what resonates with your journey and enhances your vision of home.
