Good life in Łódź

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.

Milan between words

Marro acoustically

"Architects and designers usually focus on the visuals. It's time to design also for our ears" said Julian Treasure. That is why we have initiated a series of presentations and workshops concerning acoustic comfort and, more broadly, biophilic design.

A stream of peace

- 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.

Orient & Ornament

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.
