Episode 5 | Polish Design

Описание: Polish Design explores the rich history and global success of Polish design, from industrial objects to fashion, furniture, architecture, craftsmanship, and graphic art. This series presents iconic works, leading creators, and the contemporary trends shaping Poland’s creative identity.
Raised among furnaces, a glass artist demonstrates the choreography of hot glass constant rotation, breath, and strength alongside kiln-formed fusing for doors, sinks, and sculptural mirrors. Imperfections become signatures: tiny bubbles, subtle warps, and nature-pressed molds ensure no two pieces are alike, while workshops revive skills as formal glass schools fade. At Krosno, a 100-year-old glassworks company, designers take sketches to technical molds, balancing trends that cycle from minimalism to rich color; crystalline batches and stretched-stem stemware showcase top-tier optics and seamless lines. The Glass Heritage Center preserves icons and contemporary experiments, underlining a living heritage where artisans and industry co-create. With exports across dozens of countries, Polish glass remains both magical, born of fire, air and water and unmistakably modern.
