BUBU Studio. Liquid Mountains, drip tufting by Jan Fechner. Hand tufted artist rugs from Old Paphos, Cyprus.

BUBU Studio is a design studio for interior, product and aesthetics, and the home of drip tufting, the hand-tufting technique Jan Fechner developed. It brings together the tastes, interests and roots of its founders in a single home for beauty. The love for distinctive design did not begin with the studio, it began long before, in two different lives that were already moving towards each other. Jan comes from the design and marketing world, trained in how form meets message and how an idea becomes something people want to live with. Alizay studied art and carries with her a knowledge of design and interior shaped in Pakistan, where colour, pattern and craft belong to everyday life.

The name, playful and light, is where the story turns into a place. Everything started with a search for beautiful, high-contrast art for a children's room, not just something to hang on the wall but something a child could also live with on the floor. One question led to another, and the floor became the next obsession. Tufting. The shaping of textile. A craft that turns colour into surface, and surface into a place. What began in a nursery grew into a studio. Founded by Alizay and Jan in 2025, BUBU Studio now works where materials meet ideas, and where experimentation is the only method we trust.

Liquid Mountains is the first collection by Jan Fechner, and it pictures a Cypriot summer. Sun without mercy, heat that presses down on stone, a land so dry that almost nothing survives on it. Only small patches of green hold on, scattered across an otherwise bare and rocky landscape. The heat feels strong enough to melt even the mountains themselves, and that image of stone turning soft and fluid became the starting point for the collection. Into that heat Jan folds the colours of spring and the energy of sun and light, the pink and orange of a sunrise, the deep red of a sunset, the blue of the sea that never leaves the view in Cyprus. Poppy, bold colour meets bare, sunburnt ground. Form and colour are the language. Every piece is hand tufted wool, the fibre sourced from Northern Pakistan. Originals and studies are tufted by hand by Jan in the Paphos studio. Editions are produced with partner workshops in Pakistan and finished in Paphos. From Jan Fechner's hands into the world.

Liquid Mountains is the first collection by Jan Fechner. It pictures a Cypriot summer, the heat that presses down on stone, the bare rocky land where only small patches of green survive, the sense that even the mountains could melt. Into that bareness Jan folds the colours of spring, the energy of sun and light, the blue of the sea. Bold and poppy colours meet sunburnt ground. Each study carries the three pillar drip silhouette that defines Jan Fechner's visual signature, made using drip tufting, the technique he developed. Hand tufted wool, the fibre sourced from Northern Pakistan. Every study is hand-tufted by Jan in the Paphos studio and finished and signed there.

Every piece in this window belongs to the Liquid Mountains collection by Jan Fechner. In summer the works leave the studio and go back to the landscape that gave them their colour. Limestone cliffs, olive groves, the Mediterranean horizon around Paphos. The same collection, read outdoors, in the light it was born from.

The complete archive of our hand tufted editions, atelier studies and landscape installations. Every piece Jan Fechner has made for BUBU Studio, gathered in one room. Wander through, take your time, and let the colours do the talking.

Every BUBU piece is hand tufted wool, the fibre sourced from Northern Pakistan, where Alizay's networks and family roots run deep. From there the work takes one of two paths, and the path is always named in the specs of the piece itself. Originals and studies are one of a kind works, hand tufted by Jan Fechner in the Paphos studio, each with a work number and a certificate of authenticity, finished and signed in Paphos. Editions are limited numbered runs, produced with partner workshops in Pakistan under Alizay's care, then finished, checked and signed in Paphos. The same standard on both ends, the same hand on the final cut. No guesswork for collectors or press.

Jan Fechner presents Liquid Mountains, the first collection from BUBU Studio, made using drip tufting, the hand-tufting technique he developed. It pictures a Cypriot summer, bare sunburnt ground, the heat that melts even the mountains, set against the colours of spring and the blue of the sea. Bold and poppy colours, rooted in nature, naturally inspired. Form and colour are the language. Download the press kit as a PDF: bubu-studio-press-kit.pdf.
