Krakow Design Guide, Krakow, Poland

In this guide I shares some of the best and most aesthetic shops and galleries I found during my visit to Krakow. It features graphic and interior design, fashion, illustration and places to shop for original gifts.

This spacious shop is popular with tourists and locals. It is dedicated to featuring Polish designers, both established and up and coming ones.

At first you’ll see mostly fashion on display, but if you look around you’ll also discover some accessories, jewellery, art magazines and other surprises.

A stunning little vintage shop on the extra cool Jozefa Street in the trendy Jewish Quarter (like many other shops in this post).

It’s full of colourful vintage items - decorated tin boxes, glasses, lamps, posters, clocks, bags and lots more. I really liked the retro style postcards.

This colourful concept store in the Jewish Quarter has some great, funky home design. Be sure not to miss the back room, as some of its gems are in there.

A real treat for graphic design lovers! These two galleries are home to a private family collection of incredible posters. I was stunned by the range of styles and innovative graphic design found in their catalogue.

The collection spans several decades and you will find posters mainly from Poland, but also from other parts of the world. These are mostly commercial posters, such as theatre, film and festival promo posters. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
