Design Milk, September 2013
Somewhat off the beaten track at 2013’s London Design Festival was Young Creative Poland – a showcase of Polish design. This is the post I wrote covering the event for Design Milk…
Ognisko Polskie is on 55 Exhibition Road in Brompton’s design district. The Polish Hearth Club, as it translates, was opened in 1940 to provide a meeting place for emigrants, both during the war and in the following decades, after a communist regime was installed in Poland. “If the spirit of pre-war Warsaw has survived anywhere it is in the rooms of the Ognisko Polskie,” wrote historian Norman Davies.
