In my design practice I’m always trying to listen to my customers and try to answer

their needs with the best design solution. I keep my mind open and try to combine

knowledge and skills from many different fields; graphic design, interior design, pro-

duct design, engineering, architecture and sociology. Asking questions: why, how

and what leads me through the research, analysis and design process. I’m perfect

team member, very easily adapting in culturally diverse environment.

Sommi is a conceptual project designed for Siemens Future Living Award contest. The theme of this

year’s edition was – “ Kitchen of the future”. The topic was taken very broadly; new devices, interior

design concept or architectural object. The aim was to create a brave and innovative project to

support the sustainable household of the future. In my project is focused on changing the way of food

distribution and waste management. Added value is the design of the facility itself - modular kitchen

of the future in which solar energy, water and kitchen waste are managed in sustainable way.

Already today can be noticed very strong trend: the awareness of harmful industrial production is leading people to

organize their own production on the small scale. Urban gardening, hives on the skyscraper rooftops, domestic hens, slow

food, straw houses, initiatives supporting local production, open source projects – this are only few to mention. People

are turning away from consumer lifestyle and searching for more balanced life. My project is supporting this process of

change.

Sommi is independent module fully integrated internally but also interactive

with other kitchen modules in the ne-ighborhood. Thanks to hydroponic cul-

tivation each kitchen is able to produce plants on the small scale. Central compu-

ter with help of drones is managing our cultivation and informing of harvesting.

Products grown in the area are delivered on an exchange basis. All other products,

not available in local system, can be orde-red through the online shop.

Local exchange system provides fresh and varied diet, rich in orga-nic and seasonal vegetables, herbs and fruits growth in our own neighborhood. Knowing our neighbors we can approach them

personally, or send a drone, to provide us with fresh produce. So-cial network of people who cultivate different products will help in

building positive neighborly relations.

All products not available in the local exchange system are ordered by the shop online. This solution reduces the costs of distribution and storage in traditional shop system. There will be no need of competition for clients attention, which will lead to unification of products packa-ging and making them easier in recycle process. All materials will be provided to the manufacturer and used again. With central register of orders meat production will be reduced to the quantity for which there is demand in the market. No ani-mal will be killed to lie on the shop shelf and be thrown away. Furthermore, orga-nic waste, produced in the kitchen, would be collected and supplied as fertilizer to farmers producing animal feed.

Single module is self-sufficient. On the roof of the kitchen was placed solar panel – storing the energy used for drones kitchen utensils. Special filters on the outside of the casing, are collecting and purifying the rainwater which is stored in the container located below the ceiling. Container itself, it’s beautiful interior decoration but also helps users to visualize the amount of consumed water. The culmination of the reservoir constitutes tap and sink - also equipped in water filter. Under the floor level are located waste conta-iners – divided into organic and recyclable groups. Their location allows easy access and picked up by the garbage truck without bothering the residents. Sommi kitchen can be used in individual household, by also can be placed in the city for public use. If it’s needed to relocate the kitchen - four side pillars allow movement of the object.

Drones are helping in mana-ging of cropping, as well as in everyday use of the kitchen.

Collected products are stored in a space of a temperature adjusted to the individual requirements.

Tap equipped in the filter – cleans and reduces the water consumption. Sink is adapted to collect waste and purify water. Clean water may be po-ured or placed back into the system.

Sommi it’s not only the object itself - It

is more.

It is a new way of consumption, new way

of living which will lead to creation of

new society.

Society aware of nature and focused on

relations with other people.

Izaki is a modern heater with an attractive form and function. Suitable for minimalist interiors - meets

the needs of modern society which, after era of consumption, turns to the fundamental needs, such as

family, nature and live in harmony. This heater was designed for „Terma design” international contest

and was chosen among 10 others from more than 600 projects for the final. During the final selection

and announcement of winners, it was mentioned as interesting solution for alternative heating systems.

Theme of this edition of heaters competition was SLOW. Slow today means

search for balance in life without rush, it means being aware of heedful, in

peace with one’s needs. It requires constant self – development and bigger

focus on relations with other people. In other words it means reflection,

community, care about the nature and going back to the values creating a

human being. In my project I wanted to create a radiator which reveals to

the basic elements of the word: earth, fire and water, which are together in

harmony. Steel, which the radiator is made of, is known for centuries as an

material created from natural elements of the earth. As living beings - it’s

changing, corrodes and returns to the ground. Texture of corroded steel

is very attractive and suitable for modern setting. Function of the heater

stands for the element of fire - exudes warmth, reminiscent of the home

fireplace, provides sense of security and community. The last element – wa-

ter was is as important as the two previous. Dry air caused by heating has

very often negative impact on our inhalation. I want to create a heater that

will be able to irrigate air and have influence on user mood and health.

Heater is made from two elements - the rusted steel body and the ceramic top. The interior of the radiator is filled with heating fluid, that easily heats up and keeps warm for long time. Thanks to the technology of induction heater can be charged next to the docking station and later placed in any of favorite living space. Movement of object is facilitated thanks to the balls placed in the bottom of the heater. An optional element is bioethanol fireplace.

The concept of this kettle was designed during the studies

period. Firstly we were asked to choose any of home utilities and

study the process of using it. During the analysis and work on

new product, that will be free of detected defects an unusual

solution came to my mind…

The analysis process have pointed few defects. During the process of opening the kettle, between the lip and the handle is created a gap through which the steam escapes - this can cause serious hand burns. The angle of handle is uncomfortable during the process of pouring water - it forces the user to constantly holding the lip to prevent it from falling. When kettle is full of water it makes it very heavy and uncomfortable to carry, which might cause the wrist damage.

Opening and switching on the kettle was changed into one move. This unusual solution allows to use the utility with only one

hand. Just simply pull the handle down – it will switch on and close the utility. When the process of boiling water is done, the kettle will remain closed. This procedure will help to keep the

water warm.

The cutlery collection combines simplicity with the

extraordinaire. The spiral arc at the center makes

every item stand out and will surprise you with

its ergonomic grasp. The set is versatile for a wide

spectrum of occasions.

One day group of people met in the living room and forget about comfortable chairs, armchairs and sofas just

to gather on the floor to stay together and enjoy their company. With mattresses and pillows placed in the

circle, create the most suitable conditions to talk, relax and enjoy each other as a group. That’s how my concept

was born. To give young people solution to create their own space according to their will. The project has been

started during my Internship in Switzerland and later its development has been continued with the German

furniture manufacturer - brand Freistil.

renowned ceramics artist - Marek Cecuła, professor

of Parsons School of Design in New York.

Workshop conducted by Wojtek Sokołowski, co-

designer of the car Spada Codatronca. We had

been guided through prototyping process; creating

sketches, raw paper models, until the presentational

model made in clay and presenting results

The aim of this workshop was to find out how design

can improve the condition of the city and its citizens.

We met, talk and listen to the users of public space

from many different perspective. Based of our

analysis city has changed some places.
