The N\u00f3w. New Craft Poland invites you to the fourth edition of the X N\u00d3W event. After three editions in Warsaw, the contemporary craft exhibition will now be featured in the shop windows of Krak\u00f3w venues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All of this is made possible by the festival \u201cSztuka do Rzeczy \u2013 Design in Krak\u00f3w.\u201d This year\u2019s edition of the festival takes place under the theme \u201cAdaptations\u201d, which perfectly reflects the artistic interventions by N\u00f3w artisans, temporarily transforming the shop windows of service venues into unexpected exhibition spaces.\n\nAt the same time, the entire phenomenon of new craft is also a result of the adaptation of creators to contemporary realities, where they often operate at the intersection of handicraft, design, and art. The outcome of these transformations is a collection of unique, handcrafted decorative and functional objects made of glass, textiles, metal, ceramics, and wood by creators from the N\u00f3w. New Craft Poland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until the end of November, the objects can be viewed in the shop windows of Krak\u00f3w venues in Kazimierz and Podg\u00f3rze: at the LOKATOR bookstore, LUKTUNG restaurant, EMIGRANT COFFEE caf\u00e9, the FestivALT association headquarters, MASSOLIT BAKES bakery, ORSI restaurant, BINOKLE optical salon, Wasalaa boutique, and RZECZY SAME store.\nEach individual display interacts with or complements the interior design of the venue, while together they create a cohesive walking route.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. LOKATOR X N\u00d3W, ul. Mostowa 1<\/b><\/p>\n

Kalina Ba\u0144ka-Kulka<\/b>, <\/span>Communicating Vessels<\/span><\/i>, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: <\/span>Soda glass, hand-formed, collage.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a personal project that tells the story of the interconnected relationships of four women across generations\u2014about the creation of bonds, motherhood, devotion, transience, and sacrifice. It also reflects on the role of men in shaping these relationships, on mistakes passed down from generation to generation, and on love within the family circle\u2014or perhaps its absence and the longing for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are shaped by the family we come from \u2014 we learn how to build relationships, acquire values and beliefs, and experience a wide range of emotions. A family is a system of communicating vessels: everything that happens to one of its members affects the others, and each new system is built upon at least two preceding ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

By using fragments of photographs from a family album and a delicate material such as glass, the artist refers to the fragility of life\u2014the sensitivity shared by each of us: grandmother, mother, and daughter. She poses a question: do we have a chance to escape our \u201cglass bubbles\u201d if we have been trapped inside them for years? Can we ever break free, or must something eventually shatter?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. LUKTUNG, Rynek Podg\u00f3rski 11<\/b><\/p>\n

studio tafla<\/b>, <\/span>XF2<\/span><\/i>, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Mosaic made of <\/span>coloured clay ceramics, smalti, glass, and glazed porcelain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mosaic is inspired by the work of Wojciech Fangor, a leading representative of Op Art. The piece refers in particular to his paintings and mosaics that adorn the Warszawa \u015ar\u00f3dmie\u015bcie railway station.\n\nThe mosaic was created using materials such as colored fine ceramics, glazed porcelain, and smalti.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. EMIGRANT COFFEE, ul. Kalwaryjska 1<\/b><\/p>\n

P55 Mirrors, <\/b>mirrors <\/span>Blue Cob<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Magenta Lit<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Yellow Cad<\/span><\/i> serie <\/span>Color<\/span><\/i>, 2023<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Silver backing on Optiwhite\u2122 glass, acrylic paint, black MDF board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colors have power! They serve many functions in human life, from expressing emotions and communication to aesthetics and creativity. They are an important part of our daily experience and influence our feelings and behaviors.\n\nThe Color collection was born from a need for visual stimulation, and the time of year when the idea emerged\u2014a gray, winter month of February with limited daylight\u2014fostered this desire. The collection is minimalist, yet sophisticated, thanks to irregular details and color accents.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mirrors are made using the silvering technique, invented in the 19th century. The irregular shape of the reflective surface illustrates the very process of creation, during which the silvering solution spreads across the glass pane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The natural irregularity of the mirror, combined with a uniform background, resonates with simplicity and minimalism. The surface of the mirrored layer contrasts with the geometric, regular shape of the mirror, adding an intriguing sense of dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. FesitvALT, J\u00f3zefi\u0144ska 9<\/b><\/p>\n

Katarzyna Harasym<\/b>, <\/span>Neocrystals<\/span><\/i>, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Slumping, crystal glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neocrystals is an upcycling project. The limited series of vessels and vases was created after the death of a close family member of the artist. A crystal vase had been severely damaged, but due to sentimental reasons, the artist did not want to discard it. This led her to remelt old crystal vessels using the slumping technique. By giving them a new shape, she leaves traces of grinding and additionally sandblasts them.\n\nThe matte glass objects appear like ghosts of the previous crystal vessels, \u201cstretched through time.\u201d Each vase is unique and tells a different story. The transformed crystals are given a new life.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. MASSOLIT BAKES, ul. Targowa 3<\/b><\/p>\n

Olga Milczy\u0144ska<\/b>, <\/span>TUT<\/span><\/i>, 2022<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Hand-formed stoneware, glazed.<\/span><\/p>\n

TUT vases are created by combining smaller and larger cylindrical forms, resulting in playful, biomorphic shapes. The artist experiments with form, sometimes adding typical vase finishes to the otherwise simple yet irregular shapes. The choice of colors is intentional as well: the dark clay is coated with off-white and blue, a combination so characteristic in the history of ceramics.\n\nThe vases are hand-formed from dark stoneware clay. They are suitable for long-term use with flowers and are also dishwasher safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. ORSI, ul. Solna 1<\/b><\/p>\n

Cyryl Zakrzewski<\/b>, <\/span>Nexus Lamp<\/span><\/i>, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Birch plywood, artist\u2019s own technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nexus collection is a unique series of organic objects that blur the line between sculpture and functional form. Each piece of furniture is made from multiple layers of plywood or solid wood, which are glued, then hand-carved and polished until a smooth, flowing form is achieved. The main concept of the collection is a vision of harmony between technological civilization and nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The name \u201cNexus,\u201d meaning \u201cnetwork\u201d in Latin, carries multiple layers of meaning within the context of the collection. The most apparent reference is to the network of tree roots and fungi, which serves as the primary inspiration for the organic shapes that form the aesthetic axis of each piece.\nA deeper significance lies in the reminder of the inseparable connection between humans and nature\u2014the beauty of craftsmanship, functionality, and form is meant to inspire an exploration of this bond. \u201cNexus\u201d can also signify the fusion of art, technology, and craft: each element combines artistic design, technological precision, and artisanal skill, resulting in unique, aesthetic, and functional works.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. BINOKLE, ul. Nadwi\u015bla\u0144ska 11<\/b><\/p>\n

Pawe\u0142 Jasiewicz<\/b>, <\/span>Kulopenisy No.5, No.6, No.7 (literally \u201cBall Dicks\u201d)<\/span><\/i>, 2022<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Turned and torched beech wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wooden objects were created spontaneously, without consideration of purpose or functionality. The work involves the need to handle the lathe chisel, the scent of rotting wood, the warmth of fire, and the choking smoke reminiscent of a smokehouse. Shaping and continuously altering the form is the driving force behind the work. From a piece of a robust branch, through a polished phallic, spherical shape, to degradation in fire. The passage of time and the inevitable end are central here.\n\nThe K.P. series was created from a 200-year-old beech tree that fell during the spring storms in the Botanical Garden of the University of Warsaw.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magdalena Zarychta<\/b>, <\/span>IMPRINTS I, II, III<\/span><\/i>, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

technique\/material <\/span>Hot-formed glass, blown into a preform, then hand-shaped and pressed into a bas-relief.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as traces of the past are imprinted in stones when fossils are formed, the glass by Magdalena Zarychta is marked with an organic stamp. She uses various botanical finds, as well as her own bas-reliefs and reliefs, for this purpose. She explores the possibilities of different textures, allowing them to become the key element of the sculptural composition. The artist creates short series of unique forms, both blown and hand-shaped.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Wasalaa, ul. Nadwi\u015bla\u0144ska 11<\/b><\/p>\n

Monika D\u0105browska-Picewicz<\/b>, <\/span>Bowls from serie <\/span>Moments<\/span><\/i>, 2022<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique and Material: Hand-built stoneware using the coil method, glazed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Moments series of sculptural bowls is inspired by the shapes of stones and structures observed in nature. The artist is fascinated by oval stone forms, which she collects from a nearby river and from various interesting locations. Shaped by water, they tell their own stories, and over the years evoke memories connected to specific places, landscapes, and moods. Their shapes sometimes resemble ready-made sculptures. The oval forms serve as a pretext for the introduction of color and texture, while the subtly indicated function adds an element of everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moments are also instances of decision-making connected with exploring ceramic material. Each stage of the process continually suggests new possibilities, which Monika strives not to overlook.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. RZECZY SAME, ul. Nadwi\u015bla\u0144ska 11<\/b><\/p>\n

Marcin Skalski<\/b>, <\/span>Candleholder<\/span><\/i>, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

technique\/material <\/span>Hot-forged iron, ebonized oak, polished brass sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The object refers to historic wall sconces, composed of a polished brass mirror and a steel candle holder. One of the inspirations was also the shape of ancient Egyptian bronze mirrors. The piece combines forged elements forming the candle holder structure (crafted with hammer and anvil, welded and hand-finished), hand-carved oak legs, and a mirror cut from brass sheet that accentuates the warmth of the candle flame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jakub \u015awi\u0119cicki<\/b>,<\/span> Pillows from serie <\/span>Monostriped landscape<\/span><\/i>, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

technique\/material <\/span>Faux chenille quilt, machine stitching, cotton, linen, down and feathers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pillows from serie <\/span>Monostriped landscape<\/span><\/i> combine natural inspirations with a unique technique of creation. Their pillow covers are made from dead-stock materials, i.e., fabrics unused in production, as well as second-hand materials previously used for other purposes. This is a conscious choice that minimizes environmental impact\u2014the textile industry is one of the most polluting sectors, ranking second among industries with the most negative effect on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each pillow cover features an original pattern created using the faux chenille quilt technique, giving it a relief-like, distinctive texture to the touch. The regular stitching of the pattern is intentionally disrupted by loosely hanging threads, adding natural dynamism and imperfections that are the essence of handcraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pillow filling is a tribute to ancient traditions\u2014each pillow has been hand-stuffed with down and feathers to provide natural comfort and warmth. It is a return to the roots, when every decorative element was made with care, using available natural materials, in this case also sourced from recycled materials.<\/span><\/p>\n
