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.

How will we live, work, shop and rest in the future? New technologies lead to innovations at break-neck speed. How can we use them so that human needs are met and global problems solved? We were searching for answers to these ambitious question at the FrameLAB 2019 conference, organised by Frame magazine.

The energy of Powiśle is a perfect background for one of a kind events and creative meetings. As an owner of three local showrooms we are pleased to be able to co-organise some of them. This time we celebrated the second birthday of WEDA, a creative production house founded by Ivan Vyrypaev and Karolina Gruszka. The event was attended by special guest Mikhail Baryshnikov.

This year's Warsaw Home Expo fair is over. Statistics of the third edition are promising: 120 000 square metres of the exhibiton space in 5 halls, 623 exhibitors and over 67 000 visitors (including 22 000 B2B visitors). Which brands were the most popular at our stand?
