KONARSKA-KONARSKI design store 'DOG OR BITCH‘

The ‘dog or bitch’ collection is a cooperation with three esteemed fashion designers: Ania Kuczyńska, Agnieszka Maciejak and Maciej Zień.

Each of them created a unique outfit for a given dog/bitch (life-size figure). Future editions will feature internationally renowned designers.

MANIFESTO

'DOG OR BITCH' presents:

  • interior and exterior revitalization,
  • new incarnations of deceased objects,
  • plastic surgery on all things imperfect,
  • icons taken into new dimensions,
  • psychoterapy of incurably sick toys.

Here impractical things become practical. Here practical things become impractical.

Objects of our everyday interests: open and confined spaces.

KONARSKA-KONARSKI design studio was founded in 1997. We create product design, architecture, interior design, tv studio design, graphic design, tv on air design, animations.

Created and run by Beata Konarska and Paweł Konarski

We aim to create a place of intersection for:

  • art and broadly-defined design (product, architecture, interior design, graphics, fashion)
  • the impractical and the practical
  • selected polish and international artists and designers, invited to cooperate on different projects

Our collections are aimed at those with non-standard approach to space, object and environment. While we appreciate the utilitarian aspect of daily objects, we also have something for the impractically-minded – those who prefer to function in a surreal and surprising environment.
