The story behind
This design by Jan Bajtlik joyfully pays tribute to the posters of the Polish School from the 1950s to the 1970s. The artists of Warsaw broke with the era’s conventions to illustrate films, plays, concerts and exhibitions. More than just a question of drawing the eye, they sought to harness the art of detail through the use of simple lines and emblematic figures. Rosettes, ribbons and geometric patterns recall the power of these creations. The mischievous face of Kluska, the designer’s dog, makes an appearance on the right of the composition.
