Without the need to register, you will be able to take part in the full-day creative workshops "Design Washing" inspired by open-air workshops led by one of our masters - Professor Rajmund Teofil Hałas.
The professor encouraged his students to think creatively in every possible way. One of them was this "washing," or attempting to look at design with a completely new lens: as if it had become heavily soiled by the stains of routine, as if stiffened by dust, as if it had turned gray and faded.
Let's try soaking it in clean water until it almost dissolves. Let's sprinkle in the powder of new ideas, pour in the fragrant liquid of imagination, spin out the mistakes, minor flaws, and imperfections, and... let's hang our new, beautiful, fresh design on a string to dry.
The projects and ideas will be commented on and discussed by: Marek Cecuła, Katarzyna Laskowska, Ryszard Mańczak and Karol Starczewski.
We'll explore the new presence of porcelain (should a cup be placed on the table, or perhaps a table with porcelain legs?), a new form of light (can a window be a lamp? How can you brighten the darkest spot under the sun?), furnishing public spaces (a bench, a trash can, a bus shelter, a city shelf, a hand warmer, signposts... has everything really been done before?), and how to turn Polish design into a Swiss watch (just wind it up? add a solar panel? or maybe just remove the sand from between the gears?).
We'll be discussing the opportunities and obstacles facing Polish designers in a select group during the panel "Where is the Material for Polish Design?" Designers collaborating with nowymodel.org will be participating: Tomasz Augustyniak, Marek Cecuła, Paweł Grajkowski, Ryszard Mańczak, Karol Starczewski, Anna Trafas-Kowalczyk, and Maja Uzarowicz. They'll share their experiences (both good and bad), discuss their ideas, and answer audience questions.
Most of the events we have prepared will take place at stand number 1 in pavilion five, but we will also meet you at the arena DESIGN Forum.
We invite designers, technologists, students, and anyone simply interested in Polish design who wants to live in a functional, friendly, and beautiful world. See you there!
„Design Washing” every day from 10am to 6pm.
Expert commentary on Tuesday at 4 p.m. and on Friday at 2 p.m.
