‘Decorative Fabric’ Anna Orzechowska Square Scarf

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

Decorative fabric — Anna Orzechowska

Orzechowska worked at the Institute within a team responsible for developing modern textile design. Her works reflected the aesthetics of the “thaw” period — abstract forms, geometric and organic patterns, vibrant colors, and experimental technical samples. The decorative fabric was created during her time at the Institute in 1955–57. Produced in several color variations, it drew inspiration from unism and collage.

We have reinterpreted this project as a silk scarf, measuring 65 x 65 cm, with hand-rolled edges finished locally by our skilled craftswomen in Katowice.

It’s a unisex accessory — depending on how it’s tied, it can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender.
