The best polish young designers
Fenek Studio, Michał Loba and Nikodem Szpunar are the best designers of the year according to ARENA DESIGN 2019. The award was granted for the first time.
Every year during the ARENA DESIGN fair, the best-designed products in various categories are presented as part of the TOP DESIGN award competition. This year, for the first time, specific names that shape the world of design will also be indicated in Poland. Designers of the Year 2019 is the first edition of distinctions awarded by ARENA DESIGN to young designers who managed to get to know each other in their field,and whose activities are worth following in the coming year.
– The Designers of the Year distinction will show how different faces have the best design. This year’s honors are three different ideas for themselves and design. Fenek Studio operates on the borderline of design and artistic craft, Michał Loba has developed his own recognizable style combining authorial graphics with illustrations, Nikodem Szpunar courageously entered the world of industry as the author of numerous – and excellent – project implementations – says Maria Jeglińska, creative director of ARENA DESIGN.
Fenek Studio is a porcelain studio and a small design studio, founded by Agata Klimkowska and Antonina Kiliś. The Designer of the Year award in 2018 was awarded for the original, experimental approach to porcelain and design and production independence. Painstakingly hand-made dishes, decorations and jewelry are the hallmarks of the studio, which attracts more and more lovers of tasteful design to its studio in Warsaw’s Powiśle.
