- December is all about Christmas. And since getting new furniture is not on every person's Christmas list we've decided to please you with more Notebooks, Sketchbooks and wooden Christmas postcards. We will also be present at OK SUPER CHRISTMAS market in Stettin, Poland (19-20 December 2015).

- 20th - 22nd November, Blickfang International Design Fair in Zurich. Our first presentation in Switzerland and we absolutely loved it. The Kongresshaus was packed and many people stopped by and were interested in our products. We can say one thing for certain: Switzerland, we will be back! Our presence at the fair was powered by Culture.pl and their program dedicated to promoting best of Polish Design worldwide.

- 13th - 15th November, Blickfang International Design Fair in Hamburg. Crowds of design enthusiasts were pouring in every day to the Deichtorhallen. It was an amazing experience and once again Blickfang Team proved to be top class! Our presence at the fair was powered by Culture.pl and their program dedicated to promoting best of Polish Design worldwide.

- 30th October - 1st November, CRATEive was exhibiting at the Blickfang International Design Fair in Vienna. We've worked very hard to prepare some new furniture to showcase at the fair but your positive response was overwhelming. We are now sure that our CUTTING EDGE line is a hit and we are working hard to bring some more products onto the market before next fair in Hamburg. Our presence at the fair was powered by Culture.pl, a flagship program from Adam Mickiewicz Institute dedicated to promote Polish culture and  design worldwide. We're very proud to be part of it.

- 14th October 2015, we've been very busy working a a big commission from a bakery/caffee called Bajgle Króla Jana (King Jan's Bagels) in Stettin, Poland. CRATEive was made responsible for the entire interior design of the place and we think we've managed quite well. During the process a new furniture range was born called simPLY. Simple yet playful tables and sitting benches beautifully compliment the interior. We will share some pictures with you very soon. We worked in close cooperation with an architect Tomasz Budnicki who is also a co-father of the simPLY range.

- 1st September 2015, for some this date means going back to school for us it means that we're starting a new chapter at CRATEive. Furniture made of art crates are not the only product range we do now. By introducing a completely new series of furniture called CUTTING EDGE we're accommodating our clients' requests for furniture that can be customized. So here they are. Every piece is cut out of very thick and solid 40mm plywood by hand and than sanded into desired shape. The effect is very geometrical, sculptural and modern. We hope that you will love the new furniture as much as we love making them.

- 6th August 2015, our NYC inspired West 24th Street coffee table featured in a fantastic new magazine on interior design My Warehouse Home.
