Adam Przywara moderated a discussion with Zofia Jaworowska (co-curator of the Poland pavilion) and Valentyna Vasylieva (co-designer of the Ukraine pavilion) at the London Design Biennale 2023. The topic of the discussion was: What value does a window, a pot or a chair have to us? When we’re not amidst physical crisis or emotional upheaval, we may never realise the meaning and value of such everyday objects, and how they can become personal lifelines and symbols of resistance and solidarity. This panel deliberated the changing resonance of everyday objects during times of crisis and whether learnings from design responses to the crisis can be reapplied during times of safety.
