PTASZARNIA | Karina Wiciak

“Ptaszarnia”is the first (November 2012) of twelve parts of an original collection called ”XII”, entirely designed by Karina Wiciak (designer from Wamhouse). The collection "XII" will consist of 12 thematic interior designs, together with furniture and fittings, which in each part will be interconnected, not only in terms of style, but also by name. Each subsequent design will be created within one month, and the entire collection will take one year to create. Here, visualization is to constitute more than a design, which is thrown away after implementation of the interior design, but mainly an image, which has a deeper meaning and can function individually, for instance as a print on a wall, or even a CD cover. These will not be interiors made to a specific order, but designs based on the author’s fantasy and his fascinations of various sorts. It will be possible to order a specific interior design in the form of adaptation of the selected part of the collection, on the basis of exclusivity. The project "Ptaszarnia" includes the armchair "Ptaszek" and the hanging lamp "Ptaszyna". The “Ptaszyna" lamp (which in Polish means ”nestling”) look luxurious at the first glance. Gold and black finishing, as well as shape resembling a reverse crown are to symbolize splendour and wealth. But do not let the appearance deceive you, as this lamp has a second nature. Dripping golden icicles have irregular and awkward shape, which makes the lamp a little scary as well. “Ptaszyna” is a supplement to the “Ptaszarnia” project (which in Polish means “aviary”), and the entire idea is based on the theme of birds. The “Ptaszek” armchair “ (which in Polish means “birdie”) also looks luxuriously and resembles a bird, but the surprise is the fact that the armchair walks over the floor and the walls, leaving tracks behind it. Thanks to this, the entire enterer comes to live and assumes slightly grotesque appearance, which reflects the author’s idea on architecture and design in general - which we should treat with greater sense of humour.
