Paweł Jasiewicz

Paweł Jasiewicz operates on the edge of design and art. His search for forms, materials and techniques is accompanied by the joy of handwork, a ludic lightness and curiosity about the world worthy of an ethnographer Paul resembles a 19th century explorer: He has a hunger for travel and, at the same time, an ethnographic bent that pushes him to learn about old woodworking techniques and the little-known typologies of objects that can be made from that wood. As a person and as an artist, he is constantly on the lookout: he develops the motifs that interest him and goes beyond his own comfort zone by designing and making not only furniture or artistic objects, but also objects on the scale of small architecture, such as a landscape bench in Bergen or integrated large-scale interior furnishings, such as the railing of a three-storey staircase in a private residence in Warsaw.
