"Out of the Ordinary. Polish Designers of the 20th Century" has been published in English by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. It contains a collection of essays, edited by Czeslawa Frejlich, devoted to outstanding 20th century Polish designers, from Stanislaw Wyspianski and Stanislaw Witkiewicz, through Karol Stryjenski, the avant-garde couples Helena and Szymon Syrkus and Barbara and Stanislaw Brukalski, to Maria Chomentowska and Andrzej Pawlowski as well as Jerzy Antkowiak and Barbara Hoff. The articles most of which appeared previously in the magazine 2+3D have been arranged into five parts. Each part is preceded by a brief introduction penned by David Crowley, a specialist on Central and Eastern European industrial design and curator of the widely-discussed London exhibition Cold War Modern. Design 1945 70 (Victoria & Albert Museum, 2008). The book itself is decently designed (although some might find the typography a bit old-fashioned), and features quite impressive illustrations.
