“How do you take a flat sheet of steel and inflate it like a balloon to create iconic pieces” says designer Oskar Zięta. “Sometimes errors inspire the most. A manufacturing error inspired a new process which has formed the iconic designs presented at ‘Through Process to Progress’, and we are thrilled to partner with esteemed representatives across the Polish and British design and cultural spectrum.”

‘Through Process to Progress’ is an exhibition that underlines the cultural and creative partnership between Poland and the UK; a partnership with a cultural growth that is firmly established. Renowned interior design and architecture firm BGY ID have curated the exhibition designing a visitor journey that leads through a sensory exploration fusing fashion, design and sustainability.

“During the design process for the exhibition, we strove to work within the delicate and personal environment of Loop Generations, adding Oskar’s work in a way that animated it, but also sat within the approach of the Store, so each piece is engaged with not just viewed,’ says Timothy Shepherd, Co-curator, MD BGY ID. ‘Oskar is the epitome of his work. He is as much a piece of moving sculpture himself, as he is part of all he produces. We look forward to a future of further collaborations.”

Leading design promoters On&On Designs who are experts in facilitating collaboration between designers, companies, cultural institutions, and international partners produced and co-curated the installation in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute and the Let’s Art Foundation.
