§ 02 — About

Maciek Rzankowski is a designer, architect and skateboarder based in Zakopane, Poland.

His practice moves freely between screens, rooms, paper and frosting — connected by a strict black-and-white discipline and a preference for the obvious left obvious. He treats UX work, an interior, a drawing and a cake as variations of the same question: where can a thing rest?

Outside the studio, skateboarding is the other studio — a way of reading public space, measuring proportion with the body and arguing with concrete.
