1 Studio
The studio approaches exhibition and stage design through the relationship between a subject, its setting and the people who encounter it.
A visitor route, the position of an object or a change in light can shape how a narrative is understood. These decisions are developed in response to the material of each project and the conditions of its site.
1.1 Profile
Founded by set and exhibition designer Karolina Fandrejewska, the Warsaw-based practice brings together work in museums, performance and public interiors.
Projects are developed with curators, directors and institutional teams, alongside architects, graphic designers, multimedia specialists and contractors. The composition of the project team responds to the commission; individual responsibilities are recorded in the project credits.
