Israeli / British designer Rona Meyuchas Koblenz began her extensive career in Milan, after graduating with a Masters in Industrial Design, from SPD in Milan in 1999. She initially worked in Milan in different practices designing award-winning products for companies such as Luceplan, Egoluce, Cattelanitalia, Aldabra, Leucos, and Bisazza. Rona then moved to London and worked as a senior product designer and project manager at Isometrix Lighting and Design. During her time at Isometrix, she specialized in custom made luminaires for commissions and special projects such as Nobu, Morimoto and Yauatcha restaurants, Hotel Puerta America, The Ritz, and Walker Art Museum as well as numerous private residential projects including luxury yachts.

Rona’s professional experience in design and manufacturing motivated her to create products under her own label. The first collection was released in Milan Salone del mobile. Later that same year, Fiera Milano approached Rona to feature her workings in the second edition book ‘BOX 40/2’ about emerging young designers under 40, who have contributed to Italian companies.

Her clients include Caesarstone™, The Conran, Paul Smith, La Rinascente and Aviv Group. Rona runs her own design practice Kukka Studio specializing in custom made products for special projects and commissions.  In 2010, Rona set up the design brand Kukka, in order to market, sell and exhibit her products worldwide.
