There is something rather special about knowing the hands behind the things we bring into our homes.
Delfi Rosołowska is the designer and maker behind Qubashi, a family-run studio based in Przemysl, Poland. A mother as well as a maker, Delfi began creating with a desire to make beautiful, thoughtful pieces for childhood — using natural shapes, gentle colours and carefully chosen materials.
Every Qubashi doll begins with Delfi. From choosing the fabrics and developing each character to sewing, stuffing and finishing the smallest details, her pieces are made slowly and individually by hand in her
studio.
Organic and natural materials are an important part of her work, as is a belief in creating more consciously. Rather than mass-produced toys, Qubashi dolls have the wonderful character and slight individuality that can only come from something handmade.
Delfi’s work combines traditional making with a wonderfully simple, contemporary aesthetic — soft linens and cottons, muted colours and beautifully considered little outfits. They are toys to be loved and played with, but also the sort of pieces you can imagine being kept long after childhood has passed.
Her creations have travelled far beyond her studio in Poland, finding homes with families across Europe, Asia, North America and Australia.
At The Quiet Home Edit, we are drawn to makers who care deeply about what they create and how they create it. Delfi and Qubashi embody so much of what we value: craftsmanship, natural materials, thoughtful design and the beauty of choosing something made slowly, by a real person.
