Pocket Square ‘Makata’ Anna Nikołajczuk

A design from the archives of the Polish Institute of Industrial Design (IWP)

Makata — Anna Nikołajczuk

The colorful Makata [tapestry] was designed in 1956 at the Institute of Industrial Design by Anna Nikołajczuk (1924–2019) as a decorative fabric measuring 87 x 169 cm. It was created to be hung on the wall or used as a table runner. For its time, the modern abstract composition brought a breath of fresh air and embodied the IWP motto: “Beauty for everyday life, for everyone.”

We have reimagined this design as a silk pocket square, measuring 40 x 40 cm, with hand-rolled edges finished locally by our seamstresses in Katowice.

A versatile accessory, it pairs perfectly with our sportcoats and suits — or can be styled as a small bandana tied at the neck.
