What was Jakub Szczęsny doing in India?

02 of December '19

Jakub Szczęsny, founder of Warsaw-based studio SZCZ, has once again proven that design can be for everyone.

The Taburete Tower project - towers stacked with wooden stools - was first implemented by Szczęsny during this year's edition of the Concéntrico international festival of architecture and design in the Spanish city of Logroño. This November, during the Bengaluru By Design festival in India, whose organizers proclaimed the slogan "design is for everyone," the architect again created the installation.

According to the project's author, the composition is a stack of fancifully shaped plywood stools, which during the Bengaluru By Design festival took on a form resembling towers, skyscrapers or termites.

After ten days of the event, the structure was dismantled and divided into seventy stools for residents to take home.

Thus, as Jakub Szczęsny points out, all the effort put into designing, making and installing the installation was not in vain: people will remember the festival, the project and the author himself by using the stools on a daily basis.
