Talking about design - Kaspa at Bydgoszcz Design Days 2023
Design Talks - Bydgoszcz Design Days October 7 and 8, 2023 / Rothera Mills
For the second time, Kaspa is a sponsor and partner of Bydgoszcz Design Days, an event dedicated to Polish design. As a partner of the exhibition "Enchantment," an exhibition that tells the story of light, inspired by the stained glass projects of Bydgoszcz-based designer Wieslaw Krysiak and curated by Konrad Kulczynski, and as a leading Polish lighting brand, we will talk about light these days, but also about design.
Kaspa, like light, is constantly changing, and the next step in our development, is to establish design partnerships with well-known Polish furniture and interior designers. During our meeting entitled "Conversations on Design", we will introduce you (although these names in the interior design industry do not need to be introduced to anyone): Marta Niemywska-Grynasz and Dawid Grynasz of Grynasz Studio, Justyna Hys-Bochińska and Aleksandra Hyz - designers of new Kaspa lamp collections, which we will present in the first quarter of 2024. They will talk about their experiences with design, their most interesting projects and realizations. Here's a closer look at their profiles, as well as the topics of their short, but knowledge- and design-saturated presentations.
During the meeting we will also present the autumn novelties in Kaspa's offer... There will be lots of nature, lots of trends and even more light! The full program of the Bydgoszcz Design Days can be found at under this link,. We invite you to sign up for our meetings, which will be held on Saturday at 3 pm (SAVINGS) and on Sunday at 12 p.m. (SAVINGS)

Grynasz Studio and mindfulness in design
Marta Niemywska-Grynasz and Dawid Grynasz - founders of Grynasz Studio - will talk about the idea of sustainable design, circular economy, attentiveness and empathy in design, which they follow while working on new products, using selected projects as examples.
Using the example of cooperation with the Bizzarto brand (manufacturer of the DUNE modular collection and PURRO coffee table), the designers will talk about high-quality materials and design of furniture so that it can be subjected to maintenance in later years.

Aleksandra Hyz - projects in style

Lighting and Climate of "Warsaw Venice" - how and why?
Cicchetti's Va bene project combines not only the beauty and atmosphere of Venice, but also a unique approach to lighting and climate in restaurant interiors. This innovative interior design was created to transport restaurant guests into the magical atmosphere of Venice. Architectural elements, decorations and unique lighting have been carefully selected to reflect the charm and character of this Italian city.
The lecture will discuss the details of the project, including the choice of appropriate lighting, colors and materials, which together create a unique atmosphere. There will be talk of cooperation and artistry of the place. Va bene Cicchetti is not just a restaurant, it's a true work of art that is an inspiration for anyone who wants to create unique interiors that transport guests to magical places around the world
