Summary
The article profiles Polish designer Paweł Grunert, who pioneered a unique approach to furniture design by transforming wicker, roots, branches, and steel into sculptural, story-driven pieces. Working from a barn studio outside Warsaw, Grunert created chairs, thrones, and organic forms that blur the boundaries between craft, design, and architecture. His legacy is celebrated in the exhibition "After I'm Gone, I'll Return in the Form of a Chair" at Warsaw's OBJEKT gallery, showcasing his visionary work that predated the global collectible design movement.
