Young Polish Designers - Dutch Design Week 19 -27 October 2019

The exhibition Young Polish Designers: Studies in Reality shows design that inspires hope for the future. The works by 28 freshly graduated designers from eight established public art schools range from everyday objects to design solving the problems of the modern world and creating a better future for generations to come. The designers use a variety of methods and tools to propose responsible and aesthetic changes, and span many areas of design – from conceptual design, objects and services to social design and visual communication. The exhibition starts on October 19 in Eindhoven (NL) during Dutch Design Week.

The common denominator among the twenty-eight works selected by Eindhoven based Polish artist, designer and curator Izabela Boloz is the designer’s approach to their surrounding reality. The graduates thoroughly analyse the world and its inherent challenges and propose creative approaches to what they find. Shown in 6 categories, many projects emphasize the importance of intimacy in everyday life, raising awareness of physical diversity, stressing the importance of relationships with people and the passing of loved ones. Another interesting focal point are the designs coupling healthcare and design, with creators offering solutions for people who are ill or disabled. The young designers embrace innovative and traditional materials, with ecology in mind.
