Pocket Square ‘Fabric 7017’ Danuta Paprowicz-Michno

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

Fabric 7017 — Danuta Paprowicz Michno

This textile design was created at the Institute of Industrial Design in 1955, intended for printing on silk. It was the work of Danuta Paprowicz-Michno (1926–2016), one of Poland’s most distinguished textile designers. The pattern had no name, only a number. It depicts female figures in winter outfits, rendered in the characteristic manner of the Polish “new look”: simplified, stylized, and surrounded by abstract forms. The modernity of the project was further emphasized by its pastel color palette.

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.
