About Us
Handycor began with a simple idea: to bring the feeling of the ocean into everyday spaces.
My name is Igor Bilous. I am the designer and founder of Handycor, a small artisan studio based in Kyiv, Ukraine. The sea, surfing culture and the freedom associated with them have always inspired me. That inspiration eventually became a collection of objects created for homes, hotels, restaurants and other spaces where atmosphere truly matters.
Together with my small team, I design and handcraft surfboard-shaped lighting, marine animal chandeliers, shower panels, mirrors and coastal wall decor. Every piece is made individually in our workshop — shaped, finished, assembled and carefully inspected by hand.
Objects With Their Own Character
We do not approach our work as mass production.
Even when two customers select the same design, each finished piece has its own subtle character. This is part of the beauty of handmade work. Small variations in texture and finish are not imperfections; they are signs that the object was created by people, not produced anonymously on an assembly line.
Our lighting is made using recycled MDF and integrated LED systems. Our shower panels are crafted from moisture-resistant plywood and protected with multiple sealing layers. Depending on the design, we also use decorative coatings, carefully selected finishes and hand-applied details.
Every material and construction method is chosen according to the purpose of the product.
Made for Your Space
Many Handycor pieces are made to order. This allows us to adjust dimensions, colors, mounting configurations and selected design details for a particular interior.
We regularly work with homeowners, interior designers, architects, hotels, restaurants, surf lodges and coastal properties around the world.
If you are unsure which size, color or configuration will suit your space, you can send us a photograph. We will help you choose the right option and can prepare a complimentary digital mockup before production begins.
For us, customization is not an inconvenience. It is one of the most meaningful parts of our work.
A Small Studio With Worldwide Customers
Handycor remains a small workshop, but our creations now live in homes and commercial interiors across the United States, Europe and many other parts of the world.
More than 4,000 customers have already chosen our work through Etsy, leaving hundreds of five-star reviews. Their photographs, messages and stories have helped Handycor grow from a small creative idea into an international design studio.
We are deeply grateful for that trust.
Whether someone orders a mirror, a shower panel or a large chandelier for an important commercial project, we understand that they have chosen us among many other makers. We never take that decision for granted.
From Our Hands to Your Home
Every order receives our personal attention from the first conversation to the final packaging.
Large and delicate pieces are packed in protective multi-layer crates and shipped worldwide with tracking and insurance. If you have questions before ordering, you can communicate directly with our studio rather than an anonymous support department.
Handycor is not only about coastal decoration.
It is about creating an object that changes how a space feels — something personal, unexpected and connected to the ocean.
Thank you for visiting our studio and taking the time to discover our work.
