About this event

CSTMBenjamin Kuna, Jacek Majewski - Startup - Benjamin and Jacek are co-founders of CSTM. They created an application (CSTM), which, thanks to Augmented Reality (AR) technology, allows to plan and design user’s unique furniture. The client can choose the size, shape, and function of the furniture and adjust it to his own needs. CSTM received Best Technical Achievement at the Launch Festival 2014 award ceremony.  VZÓRJakub Sobiepanek, Michał Woch - Entrepreneur - Founders of brand Vzór, which debuted in June 2012. Jakub, art director in Vzór, graduated from the Faculty of Interior Design at The Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Michał, managing director in Vzór, studied at the University of Warsaw and in Italy. Vzór introduced the cult armchair RM58 designed by Roman Modzelewski into the market. It started with Jakub’s master's thesis about revitalizing XXth-century Polish Industrial design. He wanted to implement his idea and created the brand Vzór with Michał. After over half a century since its inception, the RM58 armchair, designed by Roman Modzelewski, made its "re-debut." This time it was prepared for serial production, not only for exhibitions. Skyline Investments: Paweł Maj - Investor - Paweł is an Investment Director and a Member of the Management Board of Skyline Investments. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater in the USA and received a Bachelor of Business Administration. He is also a Member of the Supervisory Board in Fun in Design, one of seven Skyline Capital Group entities. Fun in Design launched a website with a design tool allowing users to create unique shoes. In 2012 Fun in Design won a competition for the Best Young Business Online during the Startup Fest. FUTU Paper: Martyna Bednarska-Ćwiek, Michał Mazur - Expert - Martyna is editor-in-chief of „FUTU Paper" magazine. Art Historian. Connected with FUTU since the beginning of 2007. Her interest in design goes fluently from furniture to new technologies, similarly as the profile of FUTU is changing. Michał is an editor of „FUTU Paper” monthly magazine and FUTU trendwatcher. You can often find him traveling the world to fairs and festivals dedicated to design and new technologies. Now he tracks and describes trends, and someday he will predict them.
