Where craftsmanship becomes contemporary design

About The Good Living & Co.

The Good Living & Co. is a family-run design studio rooted in nearly a century of Polish craftsmanship.

Founded in 2019 by Monika Szyca-Thomas, the brand continues a legacy that began with her great-grandfather, carried through generations in a workshop in Chojnice. Today, that same space remains the place where each piece is made — by skilled hands, using traditional techniques.

At the core is a belief in the timelessness of steel. Strong, durable, and honest. Yet in Monika’s work, it takes on a softer dimension. Industrial materials meet unexpected, almost romantic forms, creating a subtle tension between structure and expression.

The result is furniture that feels both grounded and distinctive.

The Good Living & Co. at RUIMTE

At RUIMTE, I curate objects that bring character into a space - pieces that feel considered, not obvious.

The Good Living & Co. embodies this approach. A balance between heritage and contemporary design. Between strength and sensitivity.

Each piece is made locally, always to order, and designed to stay.
Not just as furniture, but as part of the story of a space.
