textura. a polish touch.
this year the adam mickiewicz institute / culture.pl returns to the london design festival with an exciting new exhibit on polish design. curated by paulina matusiak, the exhibit features a broad overview of polish projects, celebrating design with a tactile quality and exploring the unique potential of different materials and textures. weaving techniques and patterns are highlighted throughout the designs as the exhibit brings together works representing the past and the present, as well as a diversity of production methods and material applications.
showcasing fabrics and objects from designers who push the envelope, each piece represented in the exhibition highlights an unconventional application of materials, each yielding new and unexpected qualities. through the creative combination of materials and production techniques, the designs in the exhibition amplify the message that design is physical, experiential and meant to be touched.textura. a polish touch will be on display during the london design festival at tent london from september 21 – 24 and will feature works from malwina konopacka, oskar zięta, acephala, aleksandra gaca and other celebrated and emerging polish designers.
