Targi Rzeczy Ładnych is the most popular independent design fair in Poland. It is also a quality mark, a brand, and a special selection of Polish design brands and current trends. Each year, the event brings about 10,000 people and connects them with designers and illustrators through a variety of exhibitions, meetings, and special projects.
On April 2-3 2022, you are invited to join the spring edition – TRŁ WIOSNA! – in EXPO XXI in Warsaw. This year, the celebration of design and fine taste will present furniture, lamps, fair-famous posters, textiles, wellness and accessories, and toys. Visitors will be able to find some of the spring plants and flowers, and listen about them during the special event – the book launch of Radosław Berent and Łukasz Marcinkowski’s Elementarz Kwiatowy. During this edition, the fair also carries the message of solidarity with Ukraine.
From the impressive and diverse lineup of designers participating in the TRŁ WIOSNA!, we have chosen a few unique designers worth your attention.

Two sisters launched the brand that focuses on upcycling. They are known for creating beautiful kimonos, but they offer also other textile accessories and clothes.

The colours, patterns, and shapes are all treated with love and care, which each week bring to life new products.
Szyszka Design
Now with an official production site near Kraków, the creators behind Szyszka launched their business in a small student apartment with their first handmade wooden tables. This small carpentry business quickly grew into a globally recognised brand that wishes to maintain its manufacture-like quality. Each customer can influence the idea for the wooden furniture pieces, in order to maintain the personality, quality, and uniqueness of the products. Entirely custom-made, with the highest attention to detail and individual quality.
Spokój Cisza
Spokój Cisza (“Calm Silence”) specialises in handmade candles made out of 100% beeswax. They are created in many shapes and forms, including classic candles, face-shaped from the special collection “Faces/Twarze”, or candles in ceramics. The Spokój Cisza (“Calm Silence”) brand also offers gifts sets with wax melts and warmers. This is not only an original option, but also a natural, non-allergic, and air-purifying alternative to the classic paraffin and soy-wax candles.
