I am fascinated by working in a traditional way with traditional materials, which is why I am so inspired by the work of Pawe\u0142 Grunert<\/span><\/span>, especially his wicker and epoxy resin chairs from the 1990s. I am interested in the combination of a traditional material like wicker with a contemporary liquid adhesive or binding agent, as well as the shaping methods he used\u2014preserving, bonding, and consolidating the material into solid blocks and forms that feel highly contemporary: simple, almost geometric, raw, and not directly reminiscent of nature, yet somehow fitting perfectly within the natural environment.<\/p>\n

I am also fascinated by the combination of wicker and metal in Grunert’s work, especially chrome. It gives wicker an entirely new, luxurious dimension.<\/p>\n

During Milan Design Week 2026, presents the exhibition “The Shape of Belonging” with the participation of @ale.zawistowska and @pawelgrunert<\/p>\n

The exhibition explores the relationship between craft, memory, and ancestry.<\/p>\n

The presented works show how knowledge passed down through generations takes shape in contemporary forms. While diverse in material and aesthetics, they share a common origin – experience and intuition embedded in the act of making.<\/p>\n

The exhibition approaches craft as a universal language, connecting traditional techniques with contemporary form. The show feature the SIE 46 armchair by Pawet Grunert and sculpturand chandelier by Aleksandra Zawistowska.<\/p>\n
