This is a gallery that every lover of beautiful objects should visit – as well as anyone interested in the history of everyday life and the iconic works of Polish design that have become an integral part of it. A guided tour is a great opportunity to discover the stories behind the creation of selected items from the 350 objects on display: astonishing, intricate, inspiring, incredible or… surprisingly ordinary.
Rows of distinctive chairs, intricately decorated tableware, avant-garde garments and eye-catching posters invite reflection on design: functionality, ergonomics, fashions, tastes, needs and visual appeal.
