Descripción:

The origins of the Zakopane Style go back to the late 19th century, when the Arts and Crafts Movement was in full bloom. It was created by Stanislaw Witkiewicz, who settled in Zakopane in 1890 for health reasons.

The first Woodcarving School had functioned in this town since 1876, in which professional craftsmen were trained.

The first attempts to use Podhale ornament in artistic crafts involved carving ornament on wooden furniture – chairs, beds, and a screen. In Zakopane the regional architecture movement and its cousin, regional applied art, remains vital to this day. The movie shows the process of creating Zakopane style coffers.
