Polish design continues to captivate audiences with ‘Curated Connections Chapter 3: Deformation Study’ at HENGE London, presenting visionary ceramicist Monika Patuszyńska as part of the UK /Poland Season 2025.

Celebrating the intersection of craft and material intelligence Deformation Study opens on 30 October at Henge London. The evening features Monika Patuszyńska ‘In Conversation With’ Grant Gibson, co-founder of Material Matters, followed by an opening reception set among the exhibition, which remains on view until 29 November. 

Monika Patuszyńska, explorer of abandoned spaces and untried paths, member of the International Academy of Ceramics (AIC/IAC). In 1999 she graduated from the Faculty of Ceramics and Glass at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. She was the last designer at the Zakłady Porcelitu Stołowego Pruszków (Pruszków Table China Factory) and the last president of the International Ceramics Symposium “Porcelain Another Way”. Between 2014 and 2016 she held the position of the Artistic Director at the Institute of Design in Kielce. Thanks to cooperation with the New York office of the architect Peter Marino, her works can be found in the Maison Guerlain salon in Paris, the Chanel in Singapore or the famous Tiffany’s boutique in New York.

Addicted to porcelain. Fascinated by the passage of time and everything that comes with it.

Patuszyńska is internationally recognised for her radical approach to porcelain. Her practice involves smashing and reassembling discarded moulds, intentionally preserving cracks and seams to create dynamic, thought-provoking forms. In this intimate conversation, she shares how these broken moulds become bold statements of existence.

‘My work explores transformation and tension between form and space, control and chance’, says Patuszyńska, ‘Showing it within Henge’s elegant and thoughtfully curated environment creates a dialogue that feels both natural and elevated’. 
 
At HENGE, Patuszyńska presents three distinct collections alongside a selection of individual larger pieces, twenty pieces in total, inviting discovery throughout this unique space. Resonating with HENGE's design vision, at once utilitarian and poetic, her works harmonise with the setting, engaging light, shadow, scale and context and complementing the elegance of the showroom.
