The designer will visit Warsaw Home & Contract on October 20. He will come to Poland straight from New York to share a lecture on design. It will also be available to the media and visitors – it will take part in a dedicated Q&A panel.

Warsaw Home & amp; Contract is the most important industry event in Europe, gathering entrepreneurs and producers related to architecture, design and construction. It is divided into six exhibition zones (furniture, textile, light, kitchen, bathroom, build), where the best Polish and foreign designers will present their ideas.
