Biostone

Biostone

2024

Biostone introduces the idea of biodegradable outdoor furniture allowing for multispecies integration – for a positive impact on the biodiversity of urban areas.

Over the last century, concrete and fossil fuel-based or high-emission materials have become the norm and standard for architecture, including public seating products for urban, park and nature environments. In the face of climate change, these industries are looking for regenerative, circular and sustainable solutions that not only reduce the negative impact on the environment but effectively create biodiversity.

Regenerative design for public space providing means to reconnect with nature holds the power to effectively balance the human’s relationship with the natural world. Using less high-emission materials and substituting them with biodegradable materials can contribute to a lower carbon footprint of architecture.

The Biostone straw-based public seating furniture invites diverse species to cohabitation. On top of wellbeing through togetherness for the human users, the pieces deliver nesting facilities for various size animals and insects.

DesignNature kitchen

2024

The main concept behind this kitchen design was to harmoniously blend modern elements and equipment into the historical context. Equally important was incorporating sustainable design principles, which are represented by Electrolux products and reflect the core values of DesignNature.
The choice of materials was key, prioritizing both durability and timelessness, along with ecological benefits. A standout feature of the interior is the materiality of the build-in cabinetry. Subtly resembling classic terrazzo, it’s fabricated from recycled consumer packaging – similarly as the top of the large communal table, which serves as the centre of the dining area. The functional and timeless wooden shelving that connects the kitchen to the dining area subtly yet unmistakably echoes the manor’s original antique furniture.

Forty Restaurant

2019

The idea of a meeting, traditionally taking place in the circle, was a starting point and the main inspiration for this project. Hence, many solutions in this interior refer to the archetype and geometry of a circle. Through appropriate arrangements, the space itself encourages new social relations. A careful selection of natural, timeless materials enabled to create a warm, casual and friendly space.

Natural Born

American Hardwood Export Council

2019

Natural Born projects presents the creative approach of Tomek Rygalik to conscious design with the use of sustainable materials.

Simple yet diverse American red oak boards have been an inspiration for the Natural Born chair, which manifests the shortest way to process material from the forest to the finished product. The Natural Born chair is a durable, comfortable and fully natural piece of furniture with a very low carbon footprint.

The Natural Born chair was the central point of an exhibition located at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, designed to stimulate discussion about the impact of design on consumption and to introduce American red oak.

Bez Tytułu Restaurant

2016

Without a title and with undefined function, this ambiguous object has many possible uses. The upturned feature invites to interact, while leaving space for interpretation. The simplicity of form reveals the beauty of the material and its qualities. Copper is precious and elegant, and its antiseptic properties match it perfectly with food. It can be used as a amuse-bouche serving piece, as well as a multipurpose coaster or pure decoration. Natural ageing process will change the object with time. Every touch will leave a trace, making the piece more and more precious, unique and personal. Produced in numbered edition of 100.

Creative Collisions

Kunstgewerbe Museum Dresden

2016

Creative Collisions in Kunstgewerbe Museum in Dresden is a result of a workshop led by Tomek and Gosia Rygalik with participants from Syria, Lybia, Germany, Austria and Poland. The chairs created during the workshop are personal manifestos of each of the participants comming from different cultural backgrounds. A long table designed by Studio Rygalik is at the heart of this exhibition. The piece reflects upon the table as a universal metaphor for getting together, getting in touch and sharing. It is a place where friendships are made – a perfect reason for the Friends of the State Art Collections to acquire this object for the Museum.

Glass is Tomorrow

Nude Glass / Şişecam

2015

5th ‘Glass is Tomorrow’ workshop, inside the production facilities of one of the world’s top three home glassware manufacturers, the ‘Sişecam Group’ in Denizli, Turkey. the workshop aimed to push the boundary of technique, process, material, and aesthetics (the appreciation of glass as a creative medium). Glass is Tomorrow is an european network which aims at establishing a more fluid exchange of knowledge and competencies between glass and design professionals in Europe. the project hopes to open up new potentialities and to generate dialogue about the conception, production and distribution of contemporary glass works.

The Glass is Tomorrow workshop in Denizli apart from being a week of intense work was a fantastic social experience and a great cultural exchange. We got to learn a lot about various glass blowing techniques, in particular the free blowing and moulding. We used both of them, as well as modification of existing moulds from the Pasabace factory, to create 6 new projects, that explore the use and properties of glass in different ways.

Collection of seemingly abstract objects. They resemble odd creatures but serve for specific purposes. In fact, it’s a cleverly designed system. The basic structure is always the same – a freestanding frame consisting of a ring supported on four legs. This is completed by set of different attachments that turn the frame into different functional objects.

Spool cabinet

Przemiany Festival, Copernicus Science Centre

2012

Designed by Gosia Rygalik as part of the ‘6×6′ project where designers were paired up with local craftsmen. The cabinet was created as a response to the need of a very busy dressmaker and a result of a dialogue between the designer and the user. Designed in every detail and built to last, filled up with colourful spools the cabinet should become essential for the visual identity of the dressmaker’s workshop and an important tool in her everyday work. The cabinet with spools resembling a pixelated low-res screen came as an inspiration to create an abstract stop motion animation.

Baguette Tables

Vienna Design Week

2011

Food thrown away in Vienna could feed half of the population of Graz. The project’s aim was to start a discussion about food waste. It was also to show that the materials to build from are all around us. The tables were made from stale baguettes that were supposed to be thrown away. These bread structures were part of a “bread experience” created by Gosia and Tomek Rygalik at the Vienna Design Week Laboratory, where people were surrounded by bread eating bread dishes from bread tables.
