1. Can you tell us a bit about your background?

Monika: Currently, I live in Poznan, Poland, but I’m not really attached to one place. Travels inspire me the most. Last year I’ve started design studies in School Of Form in Poznan.  This is a choice of activity which will bring me a lot of satisfaction during my life.  I’m sure.

Joanna: I come from Olsztyn (Poland). It’s quite a particular town, with 11 lakes in it. This place had huge impact on me when I was growing up. During high school I was planning to study painting. Finally I decided to study interior design, though I never let this dream go and from time to time I still paint. Following Interior Design studies at the University of Arts gave me the opportunity to develop my skills in industrial design. Significant for me was participating in an Educational-Design Programme, where I learnt how to design a product. Another influential time of my life were year-long studies in Mexico City, where I could compare my way of thinking with people from a very different culture. This time not only changed me as a designer, but mainly as a person and expanded my horizons.

Dominik: I was born in Konin in Poland. I grew up playing LEGO and I think it was the most important thing which determined my subsequent choices I learnt in few Polish cities, where I joined my technical and art passions.

1. Can you tell us a bit about your background?
I am from Athens, Greece. I am 22 years old and I study Interior Architecture, Decorative Arts and Product Design at TEI of Athens. I just finished my Product Design studies as Erasmus student in Institute Polytechnic of Viana do Castello in Portugal, which was a very interesting semester for both educational and entertainment reasons. My studies at TEI of Athens have a big variety of lessons like architecture, decoration, design and graphic design and I see that as an advantage to have general knowledge over almost all applied art fields.
