ABOUT the brand

The name PȺCU STUDIOS, /ˈpa.kuː/, combines four dimensions: Place. Peace. Curandero. And the Ⱥ – the crossed-out. The missing.

Place. Peace. Curandero. And the Ⱥ – the crossed-out symbol.

What's missing. What's uncertain. What we must reclaim if we want to find ourselves.

PȺCU STUDIOS means: Home is not a place. It's a state.


Origin & Attitude

Our journey began with a piece of Palo Santo – the wood of the curanderos.

Traditionally used for cleansing and calming, it became the beginning of a silent dialogue with the question:

How can we find peace – and in a beautiful way?


This question gave rise to PȺCU STUDIOS.

Not a brand born out of business logic. But out of a genuine need for something that will last when everything else gets loud.


Why Ⱥ?

The crossed-out A refers to Lacan’s S(Ⱥ) – not from theory, but from experience.

It represents what's missing when nothing seems certain anymore. It represents emptiness. It represents not knowing. And it represents the moment when we start anew right there.


Design philosophy

STUDIOS represents our creative approach:

Every line is deliberate. Every material is authentic. Every form is clear.

We don’t work loudly, but carefully – between function, aesthetics and effect.


Our designs are:

  • made of 100% natural stone
  • curated, not mass-produced
  • functional, but always with soul


Design objects for people who want to feel more than see.

our story

The fear came suddenly. And with it the need for something to hold me. Not much. But real.

One breath. One moment.

This is how PȺCU STUDIOS began. Not as a plan, but as a response.

I, Cyn, have experienced firsthand what it means to be lost in the noise.

Palo Santo was my anchor.

Today we are designing essentials that carry this forward:

Design with impact. Rituals without kitsch. Spaces with resonance.

what we stand for - aesthetics that touch

  • Natural materials that can breathe
  • Incense essentials that become part of your interior
  • Modern rituals without clichés
  • Design that says more than words
  • Aesthetics that remind you: You can arrive at yourself.


Each of our designs is clear in form and profound in impact. It's as if architecture, nature, and our inner selves were in conversation with one another.

our concern

In a world that is loud, we design objects that appear quiet.

Not as decoration. But as a reminder of what it feels like to be still—clear, grounded, and present.

Our designs are made of natural stone. They carry weight. And meaning.

They accompany moments in which you want to arrive at yourself.

Loud world? Find your quiet.

We create design objects for spaces with energy – and people with emotion.

Founders

Cyn and Steven Schmidt – husband and wife team, founders and designers of PȺCU STUDIOS.
