The exhibition will also present interpretations of these design icons – twenty-five contemporary Polish illustrators and graphic designers were asked to share their visual interpretations of the pieces on display. Moreover, the exhibition will also share the stories behind each of the designs: find out about the designers, their inspirations and their creative process.
Through these 100 designs and visual interpretations, emerge 100 stories about designers, needs, dreams, possibilities and limitations. The projects on display will provide a portal into the design process and the amazing nature of design in general, as the field of art with the closest connection to people. The exhibit shines a spotlight on the omnipresence and necessity of design in each person’s day-to-day life, a fact that is often overlooked.
The objects are presented in chronological order, highlighting the way certain materials, topics and forms recur throughout the last 100 years of Polish design. The exhibition aims to address a broad audience, including the youngest generation.
The official opening of the exhibition will take place on Saturday, 18 January. It will be followed by a curated tour of the exhibition.
