Diversity: key word, ever-present in many industry reports and trendbooks. How to use it for space design? How can architects and contractors create environments where people have the right to be themselves?

The opening of the exhibition "B = Bauhaus. 100 years of tradition by LABEL Magazine", held in cooperation with the Poster Museum, took place on September 12. Highly recommended!

XXII Triennale in Milan is open until September 1. Exhibition "Broken Nature" (curator: Paola Antonelli) is a strong point of this year's edition. We were there and strongly recommend it!

Next Friday, on May 17, 13th edition of Łódź Design Festival starts. Its goal and ambition is to ask questions about our life with objects and how we are using them. This year's theme - "Good life" - together with a rich programme invites reflection.

- Today, when our every day "view" is a cocktail of stimuli, forms and colours on our computer screens, we need more and more natural spaces. That's why I believe in soothing interiors. Interiors which beckon to look at them because they give respite from the virtual reality. - says Maja Ganszyniec. For many years she has been designing for the industry and at the same time in her own projects she cares for values which are not associated with mass production. Together with master craftsman Bogusław Lis she created the brand Nurt (stream in Polish). We are its partner on the contract market.

In The Asia and Pacific Museum there is an exhibition of paintings by Olga Wolniak, a well known painter and our old friend. The artist paints eastern carpets and tapestry, kilims and Polish openwork.

What is the opposite of success? The most common answer is "failure". But according to Wojciech Herra it's really mediocrity, a situation when you don't allow yourself to fail.
