Meet the Maker

I’m Conny - the hands behind MINKO.

What began in a season of stillness and surrender became a quiet practice of healing through making. Over time, that practice grew into MINKO - a calm space shaped by care, meaning, and warmth.

Each form takes inspiration from Middle Eastern heritage and the rituals that anchor daily life - lighting bukhoor, setting a tray for guests, placing a stem in a vase.

These pieces don’t speak loudly. They simply hold space.

Thank you for welcoming MINKO into your home.

May these forms bring you calm, connection, and a quiet sense of belonging.

What guides my making

  • Ritual over trends

    I design for use, not for seasons.

    Each piece is made to live with you - to gather meaning through repetition, not virality.

    Objects that earn their place through purpose and care.

  • Small-batch craft

    Each piece is poured, cured, and hand-finished in small numbers.

    Subtle variations are part of the process - gentle traces that honour the maker’s hand.

  • Calm design

    Soft curves, grounded tones, and a reassuring weight -

    objects that hold space quietly, without needing to speak.

  • Care

    Made to last.

    Guidance for heat-safe use, gentle cleaning, and long life is built into every design - so your pieces age beautifully.

The art of making slows time — and in that stillness, meaning returns.
