Jean Marc Artisan – a finalist in the GOOD DESIGN 2016 competition

The collection of hand-finished floors has received a positive appraisal from the jury committee of the Institute of Industrial Design's competition. "Good design" is Poland's first design award. Products entered in the contest are assessed individually in terms of visual qualities, practical qualities, economic qualities and added values which distinguish products and services. In our case the stand-out feature, apart from quality, will be the handcrafted finishing of every board. Jean Marc Artisan floors are fashionably retro in style, which is why during the process of creating them, the craftsman deliberately leaves minor scratches or damage, accepting the natural imperfection of the wood. This gives the freshly laid floor an aged appearance, and the interior it adorns immediately acquires a highly individual character.

Good Design has been organised since 1993. It is competed for by products indicated by the country's only independent design market monitor. The monitoring results in invitations to compete for the manufacturers, distributors, service providers and design studios whose products and services have been recommended by the Institute's experts as meeting the requirements of good design. The aim of the contest is to distinguish products and services characterised by high quality design, and to support their manufacturers and distributors.
