Agata Szydlowska at TYPO Berlin 2013 © A. BlumhoffEin gestalterisches Zusammenspiel aus lokaler Identität und Nostalgie nennt Agata “Ostalgy”. Typografie, Formen und Muster der Stadt, die den lokalen Alltag gestalten, werden von jungen polnischen Designern aufgegriffen, neu interpretiert und oft durch Retro-Techniken visualisiert.
Diese Art von Gestaltung kommuniziert ein nostalgisches und patriotisches Gefühl zur gleichen Zeit, jedoch ohne den Blick für internationale Trends zu verlieren.
