Here's how it happened
JAN 2023
Ivan (founder) quit his full-time job.
-
No Schooling or experience

No Furniture brand know-how
Just love for Creating and Vintage Wood Furniture.
SEPT 2023
Kismet Design making instagram videos.
At first, 120 views per video
— then out of nowhere 3 million views.
Feels like real progress.
Dec 2024
Year of hard lessons & growth.
Figuring out production.
Things are coming together.
Now
Flagship "Rocketlamp" made in small batches.
Tetra Lamp launch is on the way (look out for it!)
Meet Ivan
Designer & founder at Kismet. For over a decade, he worked as a carpenter doing freelance video work on the side.
I didn’t love either thing, but I learned woodworking from one and visual arts from the other.
By blending the two together - Ivan's fanbase grew from 0 to over 113k IG followers in under 2 years. With some videos driving millions of views – why?
