The People Behind the Brand

Filip Turczyn is an international chef who gained his experience in renowned kitchens across Europe, including Scotland, France, and Sweden — among them the legendary Gleneagles. He has worked both in fine dining and as a private chef for demanding clients, creating refined, highly personalized culinary experiences.

The most important step in his journey was building his own brand. In 2024, Filip founded TVORIK — a handcrafted kitchen utensil brand born from the need to create consistency between his philosophy of cooking and the quality of tools used in everyday professional work.

Filip personally oversees the development of the brand — from design and material selection to building relationships with partners and the culinary community. TVORIK is a natural extension of his professional philosophy: quality without compromise, respect for craftsmanship, and creating products designed to last for years.

Orson Gaweł Hejnowicz is one of the most distinctive and respected representatives of the young generation of Polish chefs. He has built his brand on strong international experience, bold culinary concepts, and an uncompromising approach to quality.

He refined his culinary craft in some of Europe's finest restaurants, including the legendary Noma and Geranium in Copenhagen — venues repeatedly ranked among the best restaurants in the world. He also gained valuable experience in renowned Scandinavian restaurants such as Arakataka and Fauna.

He is also widely recognized as the host of the culinary TV show "Górna półka smaku", broadcast on TVP2. As a partner of TVORIK, he brings to our brand the values that define us: authenticity, creative passion, a pursuit of excellence, and the courage to push boundaries.

Dawid Kozar is a master stove builder and a representative of a multi-generational craft tradition. As the founder of ZDUNAR, he combines classic stove-building techniques with a modern approach to design, functionality, and consciously created living spaces.

At the beginning of 2026, Dawid opened a Stove-Building Showroom in Brzeg, Poland — a space where visitors can experience his craftsmanship up close. A dedicated section of the showroom is devoted to the TVORIK brand, symbolizing our shared philosophy.

Our collaboration is built on long-standing friendship, a shared vision, and the belief that true quality speaks for itself. It is a partnership designed to last for years.

Leszek Sikoń is a respected knife maker and artistic blacksmith whose hand-forged knives are appreciated by professional chefs and conscious cooking enthusiasts around the world. Handmade from premium steels and refined in every detail, they are a fusion of functionality and applied art.

Leszek's knives are a perfect example that premium, handmade blades must be used on the right cutting boards in order to maintain their sharpness. That is why TVORIK products are created with tools like these in mind — our end grain boards protect blade longevity.

This partnership is built on shared values, uncompromising quality, and a deep understanding of gastronomy.

As a Partner of TVORIK, Ewelina shares our core values: quality without compromise, respect for craftsmanship, and attention to detail in every stage of the culinary process.

His approach to cooking perfectly aligns with the TVORIK philosophy: uncompromising quality, respect for craftsmanship, and conscious selection of tools designed to serve for years.

Andrew Telfer is an English chef from Newcastle and the founder of Telfers Table, a private chef concept built around refined, bespoke dining experiences. A talented pastry chef and chocolatier, Andrew combines classical technique with modern creativity.

He trained at the prestigious The Gleneagles Hotel and later worked for the renowned Chez Roux. Andrew gained national recognition as a contestant on The Great British Bake Off, where he showcased his pastry expertise and calm professionalism under pressure.

Andrew has been a friend and supporter of TVORIK since the very first day of the brand's launch. We are proud to call Andrew not only our Partner, but also a long-standing friend and valued member of the TVORIK FAMILY.

Charles is the founder of Apis Cera, a workshop devoted to restoring the timeless art of beeswax craftsmanship. His journey began far from the craft—after more than a decade as a web designer—until a spark led him to rediscover the beauty of working by hand. Today, from his workshop in Southern France, he creates refined natural beeswax products rooted in tradition and made with uncompromising attention to quality.

Charles has supported us for quite some time now, and it is a pleasure to grow alongside a fellow artisan. We use his beeswax to maintain our chopping boards, ensuring durability while preserving their natural character.

Our connection goes beyond craftsmanship. Provence holds a special place in our story—it is where the idea of TVORIK was first born in our founder Filip's mind. This shared origin makes our collaboration deeply meaningful.
