Paweł Jasiewicz
As a person and as an artist, I am constantly searching: I develop the motifs that interest me and go beyond my own comfort zone by designing and making not only furniture or artistic objects, but also objects on the scale of small architecture, such as a landscape bench in Bergen or integrated large-scale interior design elements, such as the railing of a three-storey staircase in a private residence in Warsaw.
Graduated in furniture design and technology from Buckingham Chilterens New University in High Wycombe UK in 2007. He is a furniture designer, artist and researcher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He works at the edge of design and art. His search for forms, materials and techniques is accompanied by a joy for handmade work, a ludic lightness and curiosity about the world.
As a scientific researcher, he travels to various workshops around the world to see and document different approaches to wood. As a designer and artist, he interprets the acquired knowledge/techniques anew in his creations. He has adopted the words of Marcel Proust as his motto: "The true act of discovery is not to find new lands, but to look at old lands in a new way". That is why he looks for new meanings in the obvious and the not-so-obvious, and the vast majority of his work has a utilitarian aspect.
He has collaborated with Ikea, Paged, Greenpeace, Knacelaria Prezydenta Polski
