- We love Polish design – the high-quality kind and the kind for every pocket. Our mission is to discover companies and designers whose products cannot be found in ordinary shops, and who amaze with their ideas and superb craftsmanship. TRŁ is diversity and an ocean of inspiration, a unique opportunity to meet fantastic people and go home with truly beautiful, unique items and a head full of ideas – say organisers Ajka Mroczkowska, Ania Pruszyńska and Paweł Stremski. – We want life in Poland to be a little more beautiful. Over 10 years, more than 200,000 people have already visited us. We adore the Tri-City, we adore the local audience, and we've long dreamed of holding a proper edition of TRŁ on the coast.
