Noti, the Polish design brand rooted in family heritage, will present a curated selection of pieces – Vivido, Cactus, and Ekori – each displayed as ‘micro-stories’ that reflect the brand’s ethos of craftsmanship and sustainable innovation. The presentation is further enriched by a dedicated panel talk (Fri, 19th September, 12:00), exploring the journey of materiality and the cultural dialogue behind Polish design.

Making its first dedicated UK exhibition appearance, Noti’s showcase focuses on its core values of manufacture, craftsmanship, and partnership. Three distinct stories – Vivido, Cactus, and Ekori – illustrate three different technologies working with three unique materials, collectively highlighting the rich narrative of Polish design and creativity.

At Noti, design is a conscious offering of function expressing of lifestyle shaped by carefully selected products and thoughtful manufacturing. Each piece reflects the human touch, with craftsmanship at its core, brought to life by a skilled team whose collective experience from seamstresses to designer, ensures timeless, meaningful design. A family business, Noti creates mindful objects that express identity across both living and working environments, supported by diverse technologies throughout each design journey.

‘Our London debut at Material Matters allows us to share our belief that materiality is not just a technical choice, but a reflection of responsibility and design excellence’, says Piotr Kuchciński, Art Director of Noti, ‘We’re excited to bring this philosophy to a wider audience and contribute to the cultural and creative dialogue between Poland and the UK’.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
