In addition, Pągowski prepared print designs as part of the Mondo Cane project for the Japanese brand Medicom. The black-and-white motif was formed by the silhouettes of several dogs, and then applied over materials and various items, from bags to slippers.
The designer is also associated with the Polish brand UEG led by Michał Łojewski, for which he prepared a special collection of clothes with human silhouettes against a white background characteristic of the brand.
Pągowski’s creativity has flourished in many parts of the world; he lived in New York for many years. However, since 2007, the vast majority of his commissions come from Asia: mainly Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Orders vary greatly: from works for trade centres to projects for the Chinese sportswear giant Li Ning.
Recalling his teenage years in Poland Pągowski stresses the important role of shortage in the creative process:
Growing up in Poland in the sixties and seventies I learned how to make use of restrictions, or even how to enjoy them, as well as create images from scratch, and not just use existing ones (...).
In 2014, Pągowski took part in the Designing Polska – Design in Poland exhibition, which presented works by some of the best Polish illustrators and graphic designers. The exhibition, co-organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, took place during the 12th edition of the most prestigious event in the field of design: the London Design Festival. Famous Polish artists were invited to participate in the four-day exhibition, including Filip Pągowski, Agata Endo Nowicka, Studio Noviki and Ania Kuczyńska. The works created by these artists have contributed to creating a comprehensive, ever-changing picture of contemporary Poland.
Visitors at the exhibition had an opportunity to see how Polish self-expression combines with art. In addition to the graphic designers' portfolios, the exhibition was divided into the following sections: book design, children's books, magazines and self-publishing, posters and selected fashion projects in which graphic design and illustration play a key role. The exhibition opened at Tent London.
In 2015, Filip Pągowski created a shoe pattern for the global footwear company Ash. The graphic designer described the project:
I wanted it to be visually interesting, but also surprising, so I developed an artistic look with colours and graphics. I thought the concept of the ‘Tweed’ design would translate well onto a sneaker and liked this idea of playing with various elements that make up the pattern such as the herringbone. In contrast, the ‘Flame’ design is more graphic, with colours of white, black and yellow, and bigger design elements.
At the beginning of 2016, Canadian rapper Drake released a new single entitled Summer Sixteen– the cover art was designed by Pągowski. That same year, as part of a sweeping global trend, Commes des Garçons released a set of proprietary emoticons. FilipPągowski designed a set of 24 emojis, some holiday themed, with the PLAY logo.The emojis could be downloaded for use with the iPhone iMessage.The artist's next well-known project was a collection of t-shirts, released as part of a collaboration between Nike and the NBA in 2017.Pągowski created a new logo for each of the 30 teams playing in the American basketball league; the designs then appeared as limited-edition Nike t-shirts. Pągowski wanted each of the emblems to refer both to the teams’ original logos as well as the places and things associated with them. This is how a cowboy, similar to one from old movie posters, made his way onto the Dallas Mavericks shirt and why Pągowski treated the Denver Nuggets so literally and depicted the team with pieces of fried chicken. Two years later, the graphic designer was invited to cooperate with the Samsonite brand to reintroduce their iconic aluminium suitcase model, enhanced by Pągowski’s addition of drawings that imitate stickers.
