Studio 1:1, Gdańsk

Studio 1:1 is looking for balance between design process and implementation of design idea into production. The name of the studio reflects its ambitions. We are interested in both creating new ideas and their supervision during realization. We consider design process finished not until we receive a product in 1:1 scale.

We set up our studio in 2001. Our office is situated within the area of Gdańsk Shipyard. Symbolism and history of the place create favourable conditions for joint work of young designers, graduates of The Academy of Fine Arts, University of Technology and University of Gdańsk.

Design process starts with the analysis of both the existing condition and the product of competitive companies, we point out problems and set goals. Together with the client we frame assumptions. We present concepts by means of 3D visualizations and printouts. The projects we work on are included into supervision. Realization is not the last stage of the project. Together with our client we draw conclusions, which allows further product improvement, we also observe how the product functions on the market.

Our projects help companies to invest safely and develop dynamically. Our clients are: Reserved, Re-kids, Home&You, Cropptown, The Malbork Castle Museum, The Costal Theatre in Gdańsk, The Baltic Sea Culture Centre. In order to provide the highest quality in design we create small specialist teams for each project, selecting creative and dynamic designers from branches such as: industrial design, architecture, graphic design, photography and film.

Since the beginning of our existence we have completed a number of projects in Poland and abroad within the range of interior desins, visual identification and exhibitions.
