Abstract:

There were several attempts to withdraw from the market ugly and impractical furniture to be bought in Polish shops, but the malfunctioning of the domestic industry and trade seemed to form an insurmountable obstacle in this regard. Only after a chain of numerous social and economic factors there emerged in Poland a consistent plan to create modern furniture suitable for any kind of apartment of those times. The case of wall unit as an answer to minuscule living areas of Polish flats illustrated more or less successful attempts to handle the deficiencies of apartments by particular groups of their tenants. Yet, before in the post-war consciousness, both of decision-makers in the furniture industry and future users, a thought of modern furniture was born, the domestic pattern-designing was seized first by Socialist Realism, and then by economical investment policy of Władysław Gomułka’s time. The wall unit itself enjoyed popularity and recognition of designers for a very short time only and soon became the synonym of unification, trash and boredom. Despite the suggestions of specialists, however, the wall unit gained recognition of customers. In time, the initially innovative solutions of the wall unit construction got ‘domesticated’ with kitschy knick-knacks that turned it into a kind of familiar glass cabinet or cupboard, indispensable in bygone days.
