#DESIGN
A charming art and fashion fair
Polonia House is one of the most impressive buildings along Krakowskie Przedmieście, conveniently located a stone’s throw away from the Sigismund Column, where the Orange Umbrella Free Tour begins and ends. If you’re cold after all the walking, head inside to see (or even buy) young Polish design at the “Charmed” applied art market (KIermasz sztuki użytkowej Urzeczenie). Limited series, alternative design (bags made from t-shirts, anyone?), lamps made from phones… should be fun even if you leave empty-handed! If you like it, come back on Sunday, some designers will only be there one day!
