Pan tu nie stał
Shop
Pan tu nie stał
Founded in Łódź (one of Poland’s largest cities, located an hour away from Warsaw), Pan tu nie stal literally means “you didn’t stand here, Sir” and references a communist custom of queuing in stores (when not much was available to buy). The brand’s heavily graphic products including clothing, homeware and accessories are inspired by Polish style and industrial design from 1960s until 1980s. Many of them feature bold typographic slogans presenting a humorous and ironic take on Polish reality of the past decades.
