About Us

Welcome to Amitābha Studio!

Kimberly Poppe and Davide Piai, co-founders of Amitabha Studio & husband and wife creative duo. They are indoors, against a dark blue wall, both dressed in smart casual attire.

Our studio is your home for one-of-a-kind handcrafted designer lamps upcycled from antique and vintage Dutch ceramic vases. We love finding unique vases, choosing the right fabrics to give them a contemporary twist, and handcrafting them into lamps with the finest materials.

Davide is a craftsman who has always had a passion for creating beautiful things—be it art, music, or even food! (He’s Italian, after all.) Kimberly is an artist and an interior designer. Together, we share a love for bringing beauty into everyday life.

One dark, dreary Dutch winter’s night, we were chatting with a good friend about how important lighting is for keeping one’s spirits up. Looking around our own home, we realized we needed more light! After a long search, we struggled to find any lamps we loved, so we decided to take matters into our own hands! Inspired by the unique history and art of Dutch Delftware from our adopted home, the Netherlands, we found a beautiful antique vase and paired it with a bright red lampshade, our origin lamp! This creation process sparked a re-discovered love of handcrafting. With our backgrounds and our delight in discovering the stories behind things, continuing to work with antique and vintage Delft pieces felt completely natural. The rest is history, as they say!

We hope our lamps bring light both into your home and into your life. The joy we feel from the beauty and care of a handcrafted work is what we aim to share with each piece we create—from our studio to your home.

With love from Amsterdam,

Davide & Kimberly
