Abstract

The article touches upon the question of the history of Polish industrial design. It analyses its genesis since the second half of the nineteenth century as well as the crucial problem of how ‘Polish’ and nationally rooted were, in fact, the forms presented by the Polish designers at the time. Further reflections on the topic show two main tendencies – inspirations emerging from folk art and the search for modernity (characteristic of the entire European design during the period). Both tendencies are still present in Polish design.
