Diehl-Michalowski

In Poland, design is still in the development phase and there is currently no one specific dominant style characteristic only of our country. Until recently, we were trying to design correctly, and now we are looking at how to design incorrectly.

Polish design history has been very tumuluous and directly related to the country's history and political systems.
