About

Light Bean is rooted in nature and local craftsmanship. Designed by San Francisco-based industrial designer Katerina Kopytina, it reflects her shift from global hardware innovation to slow, place-based design. 

Each piece is handcrafted in small batches from North American oak, individually numbered, and assembled in California. It's a tribute to honest materials, local makers, and thoughtful production—inviting a slower, more intentional kind of living.
