Workshops
17 – 19 August Barlinek Institute of Design along with the designers who qualified for stage 2 of the Creations from Nature 3.0 competition paid a visit to the Barlinek Factory. This year’s edition of the competition was an exceptional one, taking on international status for the first time as designers from Russia, Romania and Ukraine were invited to participate. The day began with the contestants taking part in the most exciting part of the contest – the craft workshops. Over the course of the three-day stay in Barlinek, the participants had the opportunity to discover the technological process behind the creation of the Barlinek Board, feel the raw material they were later to work with, and spend time in the amazing atmosphere formed by all the people present at the workshops.

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.

BIOD SUPPORTS DECOROOM
Organising or even slightly rearranging or refreshing an interior sometimes seems a task requiring the technical knowledge of a NASA engineer, the imagination of the surrealist Marcel Duchamp (cf. his Fountain) and a way with colours worthy of van Gogh at least. This was demystified by the canvas of the Decoroom workshops, which took place […]
