We would like to invite you to the official presentation of furniture, the realisation of the project that won the Artforms competition!
The ‘ArtForms’ competition, organised by the Simple Form Studio, is an initiative to promote contemporary Polish design. Addressed to interior designers and architects, it is also a tribute to the history of domestic design and an expression of the need to continue its best traditions. The reason for organising it is the approaching 100th anniversary of the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industry, held in Paris in 1925. Polish artists in the 1920s returned from the French capital honoured with many awards. This exhibition was the main source of inspiration for the competition participants. The competition task was to design a piece of furniture that, like the design of a hundred years ago, would attract attention with its elegance, functionality and innovative solutions.
The first prize was won by Mikołaj Sołtysiak, Grzegorz Kurzawa and Marika Stanisławska – a group from Poznań – for their table-sculpture design.
This project, realised by the competition organiser Studio Prostych From, will be officially presented at the Warsaw Home&Contract Fair!
The ceremonial unveiling of the piece of furniture will take place on 23.10.24 at 14:00 in the area of Studio Prostych Form. The winning piece of furniture will be on display throughout the fair.
The competition also recognised 10 artists and their works:
Ewa Burak – console Niezapominajka,
Anna Doczekalska – Deko table,
Maja Drążkowska – Fasada chest of drawers,
Natalia Glazer-Wika – chest of drawers project,
Krystian Jandura – console design,
Katarzyna Kacik and Aleksandra Poprawa-Ożga – console/toilet,
Patrycja Suszek-Rączkowska – Eclipse dressing table
and Magdalena Kuranowska, Anna Białkowska and Dariusz Michałkowski from the Kontraforma group, whose as many as three projects were recognised: a coffee table, a chest of drawers and a dressing table.
All the distinguished works can be seen at the exhibition accompanying the event, located in the entrance area in Hall D
You are also invited to meet the finalists of the competition.
On 24.10.24 at 2 p.m. on the stage of the Exhibition Studio in Hall C, there will be a panel with the finalists of the ‘Artforms’ competition ‘One hundred years after the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industry in Paris. Conversations about design, furniture design and life’.
You are cordially invited!
