Common Ground: Curated Connections in London, 06/2026
Common Ground: Curated Connections Launch Invitation – London Festival of Architecture 2026
The Creative Project Foundation, together with On&On Designs, Fletcher Priest Architects and the Fleet Street Quarter BID, announces Common Ground: Curated Connections, the fourth edition of the Curated Connections series, opening on 1 June 2026 as part of the London Festival of Architecture.
We are delighted to invite you to the launch of Common Ground: Curated Connections, a new installation.
Hosted by Fletcher Priest Architects, one of the United Kingdom’s leading architecture and design practices, the evening brings together architecture, craft and cross-cultural collaboration.
Throughout June (9:30–6:30pm), the Fletcher Priest studio and garden host an installation by three leading Polish design studios, blurring the line between interior and public space. Visible from the street through the studio’s glass façade, the exhibition spans both the gallery and garden.
Zieta Studio — Known for FiDU technology, transforming flat steel into complex structural forms. The bench element from “Whispers” will be reimagined in the Fletcher Priest garden.
Pani Jurek — Warsaw-based studio working between ceramics, architecture and material culture, treating fired clay as both craft and spatial element.
Katarzyna Krej — Glass designer creating atmospheric works exploring colour, transparency and light through traditional glass-making techniques.
Curated by On&On Designs and designed by MM-L Studio, the installation explores materiality, space and shared perspectives within the city.

YES Scholarship Program in Poznan, 5/2016
Miska Miller – Lovegrove was invited to judge the 1st Edition of the ‘YES Scholarship Program’ addressed to young creatives from Poland. YES, one of the most dynamic jewellery companies in Poland, together with the Foundation of University of Arts in Poznan, support young talents who are able to translate their creative ideas and respond to market needs.
It was fascinating to see the variety of talent from product design, jewellery, art, sound to fashion.
The results of the competition were announced at the exhibition of semifinalists’ projects during the ‘Poznan Design Days’, followed by a panel discussion on a role of the designer today. Congratulations to all the winners!
Swedish Curators in Warsaw, 1/2016
In January we spent 3 days with our guests from Stockholm on a research visit to Warsaw, organised by the Institute of Adam Mickiewicz in collaboration with the Creative Poland Foundation. It was the second trip of its kind and part of a long term Polish – Swedish Design Collaboration. Amongst the invited Swedish team were: Berndt Arell, director of the National Museum of Stockholm; Eva Kumlin, CEO of Svensk Form; Tom Hedqvist, graphic designer, former principal of Beckmans School and a director of Röhsska Museum, and designer/curator Sara Torsson Szyber.
The Swedish Ambassador to Poland, Ms Inga Eriksson Fogh, opened her residence to a reception for the Polish design community, where we all could continue our discussions on culture exchange.
Design Alive nomination, 10/2013
Design Alive Awards are the first Polish awards to recognise an original and creative response to human needs. The ambitious prizes are given each year to creators and promoters of solutions, products, services and spaces created from the synergy of design, technology, ecology and business, which demonstrate consciousness about changes taking place in the world and society. The prizes are awarded in three categories: Animator / Strategist / Creator.
The foundation was nominated for the Design Alive Award in 2013 and 2012. “Thanks to the foundation’s initiatives (exhibitions, publications, PR) Polish design’s begun to appear abroad as a coherent brand, rich in people and culture,” explained Design Alive’s judges. We are delighted that our efforts towards promoting Polish design across the world have been highly esteemed by the competition jury and those who voted. Thank you!
Pecha Kucha in Łódź, 10/2013
We participated in the 12th Pecha Kucha organised in Łódź during the Design Festival where we talked about Polish design in the UK. It was only a few weeks after our London Design Festival exhibition, so we had many positive comments about Polish design to share!
