01 / Our reason

A foundation for the curious, the restless and the radically useful.

Young Polish Designers Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting emerging designers at the beginning of their professional journeys.

Through exhibitions, mentoring, research and international exchange, we build the conditions for new work to be seen, discussed and brought into the world.
