 There is a brand new swing model that will bring out your inner child, make your children happy as well as you, and feel your soul calming while swinging. It is impossible not to admire these swing designs. The swing named "Swing" designed by Iwona Kosicka really creates a reform in swing form. While its round form and simple, minimalist but strong lines adapt to any space it is used, it will also be an important element of your decoration. Swings that you can install in your living space, bedroom, garden, balcony or patio will add a high-quality design, style, aesthetics and elegance to the space. It is an ideal choice not only at home but also in your office to relieve stress and relax during breaks.

With the swings that do not take up much space as they are hung on the ceiling, you can create your own resting corner either outside or in open spaces. Addressing different tastes and architectural styles with its color options such as gold, silver, copper, oak, and natural wood, the swing is a contemporary sculpture-accessory option for those who like to be different and live the extraordinary.

Swing designer Iwona Kosicka answered our questions about this special design.

Dear Mrs. Iwona Kosicka, how did you decide to design a swing? How was your impressing Swing design born?

Swings have been created to give interiors a breath of life and to break out of the concept of ordinary rocking chairs. In my project work I searched for a form that will serve my clients for many years. I bet on timeless minimalism. A seat hanging from a ceiling looks intriguing and ensures no one walks by without a glance. Swings are especially suited for lovers of geometrical lines and those who value frugal forms and good quality.

 

How many color and model options are there?

It can be said that there is no limit on hues and finishes. Basic colors are natural oak, lightly bleached, white and black. We paint with bespoke colors from RAL and NCS palettes. We also offer an exclusive version that is covered with schlagmetal in gold, silver and copper. Schlagmetal is a thin piece of metal that is applied by hand. It’s a traditional gilding technique, so those products are very exclusive.

Swing can easily fit different kind of environments. What do you think?

Certainly! Swings have a perfect circle shape, and that makes them suit all kinds of styles and interiors. It brings me great joy to watch new applications with their use. They beautifully complete projects without dominating the space. The lightness of form is in a harmonious balance with the existing environment. In the Helsinki City Museum anyone can see how many positive emotions “Swing” can inspire, whole flocks of people have been swaying from swings hanging from the ceiling. My swings can also be found, among other places, inside the lobby of the Parisian hotel Marriott, Boutique Hotel Babylonstoren in RPA, numerous buildings, showrooms and restaurants around the whole world, Tokyo University, Alegro shopping center in Portugal.

Swing is really perfect in terms of design. But also its production is also flawless, excellent. What is the production secret behind the swing?

During manufacturing, we use the best materials, and ideal circle form requires great precision that is only reachable for masters of woodcraft. I am honored to work with such craftsmen. I view balanced development as manufacturing and buying things that are both durable and useful, and suited for individual needs. I’m concerned about the fate of the natural environment that surrounds us, and therefore all swings are made to order. To create our furniture, we utilize almost every piece of obtained material. This way of thinking is rooted in my childhood, when my dad had been in charge of a carpenter shop. He always stressed that success is dependent on two basic ideas: uncompromising engagement in best craftsmanship and unique designs. This is the mental inheritance that shaped my artistic DNA.

Can you introduce yourself for when etwas Andres’s blog readers?

I’m a designer that has graduated from the Art Academy in Wrocław. The base of my work is the value of traditional craftsmanship and respect for good materials and their origin. I create items with simple lines and functional design. In my design and carpenter workshop oaken tables, furniture and intriguing lamps, like “Birds” shaped like sitting birds, are being made. We offer a variety of scandinavian-styled additions, functional and always crafted from natural materials. Personally I love nature, good books and a healthy kitchen. I photograph, paint and in my spare time ride a bicycle and walk mountains. I constantly try to adhere to the philosophy of gratitude and balance. I’m striving to hold on to happiness.
