Educational exhibition inspired by books of Umberto Eco: “History of beauty” and “History of ugliness” 2016/2017
9
The subject of my work was a project of an educational exhibition inspired by the Umberto Eco books “History of Beauty” and “History of Ugliness.” The exposition takes place in the space of Narutowicza Hall in Zachęta - National Art Gallery. The selection of the topic was a result of my interest in art history and the internal need to analyse the issue raised in Umberto Eco books and introduce it for exhibition space design.
10
My intention was to create the impression of a clear division between two topics and show them as a whole in which one piece could not exist one without the other.

Exhibition stand project tourist company “Ex Orient Lux”

The exhibition booth, designed for the tourist market, aims to promote trips to Vietnam, especially to the picturesque bay of Ha Long. The form of the stand is inspired by nature, and especially the terraces of rice fields. Coloring refers to the ubiquitous greenery of the country, but also attracts the eyes of visitors of the fair.

Projcet of “Lorens&Wiktor” stand
In the spatial concept of the exhibition stand the most important task was to reflect the profile of a company awarded the “Now Poland” award. Through the use of simple forms and shapes, referring to the traditional values while at the same time showing its modernity. Adjusting the rectangular frame at the angle to the partition walls dynamizes the space and allows good exposure of the main product - the suite.

Form design in urban space promoting the concerts “Radio Asia� The spatial form refers to the origami tradition and to the lanterns coming from a wide circle of Asian culture. An open character of the structure allows for diversification of the object from the visual side and contributes to the disturbance of the symmetry and harmony of the Konstytucja 3 Maja Square and its buildings. Colouring was taken from the event poster.

Piggy bank design
The premise of the piggy bank project was to find the universality of form. The most important task was to create the object that becomes an ornament for every room. Simplicity and a minimal amount of artistic expression define the shape of the object. Despite its modern finish, the piggy bank fits perfectly in any interior.
