The must have 2024 plebiscite: the best Polish design has been awarded
The must have awards have been granted since 2011. They go to Polish companies, designers and manufacturers to support Polish design. The must have quality label is also a consumer recommendation. Among the 81 honoured are not only objects, but also audio devices, applications or books.
The must have plebiscite has been organised at the Łódź Design Festival since 2011. It was created to identify the best implementations from Polish designers and manufacturers. It is a free-of-charge quality label that companies can use at home and abroad. Its task is to promote Polish design and the domestic creative sector. must have is also a unique consumer recommendation and the most media-savvy event in Polish design.
What trends dominate domestic design?
In the 14-year history of the plebiscite, nearly 1,000 products have already been awarded, and among them there is a clear dominance of products from the furniture category – 31.6 per cent and furnishings (lighting, accessories) – 27.6 per cent, followed by children – 8.8 per cent, fashion (clothing, jewellery, accessories) – 8.7 per cent and hobbies, entertainment, education – 8.4 per cent. The least represented products are: construction and accessories – 4.9%, health and beauty – 4.2%, electronics – 2%, garden – 1.9% or sport and recreation – 1.8%. You can find the catalogue with the distinguished objects from 2011 to 2024 HERE.
It is difficult to single out one dominant trend in Polish design – on the one hand, especially recently, there has been a strong return to craftsmanship, natural materials and local techniques; on the other, Poles are increasingly willing to use the latest technologies and successfully experiment with modern materials. One thing is certain – the quality of our products does not differ from the world’s best models, which will be strongly experienced during the must have 2024 exhibition, held as part of the programme of the 18th Łódź Design Festival (21-26 May). The entire programme for the event is available HERE.
