The New Look of Polish Pottery - The Artist behind the Art

The New Look of Polish Pottery - The Artist behind the Art
RENESANS by DOROTA KOZIARA

On her last shopping trip to Poland, Gosia Rojek, Owner of Pas Par Tou fell in love with the clean, graphic patterns of designer Dorota Koziara. As an avid collector of Unique Polish Pottery, Gosia felt that this new interpretation would be a wonderful addition to the traditional patterns that she already sold. The beautiful collection is now available in the Greenport, NY location as well as online at www.pas-par-tou.com.
The Renesans Collection is the result of searching  for traditional pottery made by Bolesławiec  Manufactory and its modern interpretation.  The artist had decided to create a collection which  would constitute the modern interpretation  of pottery traditions present in Bolesławiec. Pottery  manufactured in accordance with traditional  formulas unchanged for many years, as well as  the tradition which has survived historical turmoil  and is still an element which develops the region’s  identity, were used as the starting point.
Renaissance, which means revival, is the  development of trends stemming from strong  tradition, the creation of new aesthetics while  respecting classical designs, harmony and variety  of decorative designs. The result of this approach  is the development of the collection which,  similarly to the Renaissance, combines various  disciplines, provides the possibility to make one’s  own combinations using the collage technique,  with harmonized shades and complementing  patterns. It is the diversion from minimalism,  it is variety which also creates a harmonised whole.
The Renesans Collection design by Dorota Koziara  Studio was created in 2015. The artist invited the  young designers Joanna Mazurek and Francesco  Ippoliti to cooperate.
A part of the collection will be presented as the  main Trendy 2016 installation at this year’s Ambient fair in Frankfurt.
