I am a designer who looks for exceptions to the rule!
My unique objects are also created for an important, usually non-commercial, reason. I studied jewellery design and still treat this experience as a perfect pretext for artistic endeavour, including in other areas of material and visual reality; where art, design, fashion, traditional handicraft and CAD / CAM technology meet.
I am an academic teacher, a professor of fine arts, myself. I run the Experimental Design Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk / PL, where we strive to carry out in-depth analyses of the direction in which the creative industries are evolving, in order not to follow the easy road of exclusively functional and marketing necessities. I am also the curator of the International Jewellery Art Competition in Legnica and the Amberif jewellery trade show in Gdańsk, author of books and theoretical studies on contemporary design, a critical observer of consumer trends and a fan of (a sometimes a participant in) subversive counterculture.
Join me for a crash-test with truly experimental design!
