The latest issue “Vogue Polska Living” celebrating individualism
From the Victorian house of Ina Lekiewicz-Levy, whose renovation has become a way of life, through unique workshops of Maria and Aleksander Oniszh, Barbara Falender and Zofia Wyganowska, to the hotel in Rome co-designed by Luca Guadagnino — the latest issue of Vogue Polska Living is filled with spaces reflecting personal choices. Over 300 pages of the magazine present carefully selected design, magnificent interiors and the hottest trends of the season.
“What does it mean that an interior has been well designed? I don’t know the answer to this question — maybe there is no single correct answer. I am glad that this issue is a praise of individualism and something you might refer to as respect for the matter,” writes Hanna Rydlewska, the leading editor of the newest, sixth edition of Vogue Polska Living, in her editorial. The cover page presents the interior of the London house of Ina Lekiewicz-Levy and her husband Benjamin. The editor-in-chief of Vogue Polska is designing and renovating the Victorian building with meticulous care, leaving all the contemporary habits and tendencies behind. “I don’t have white walls. Painting the interior walls white is a fairly new concept, which simply doesn’t work in old houses,” says Ina Lekiewicz-Levy interviewed by Kamila Wagner.
Another architectural treasure — an atrium house built in the early 1970s was discovered in Sadyba in Warsaw. In this house, Ewelina Moszczyńska, an architect, created the place for her family, tenderly preserving the experimental solutions implemented by architects 10, 30, and 50 years ago. “For me, it is a matter of values; after several years of working in Denmark, I have absorbed the philosophy of balanced living. I definitely prefer to explore, renovate, and reuse, rather than to fuel mad overproduction and to wade through the multitude of unoriginal items,” says Ewelina Moszczyńska interviewed by Basia Czyżewska. A search for inspiration in the history and local heritage and merging the Bauhaus design and Art Deco aesthetics is a important theme in the case of an apartment located in Nikiszowiec in Katowice; Mat Kubaj, its designer, talks about that place with Julia Właszczuk.
