Zatoka offers souvenirs from the seaside. Our collection features unique designs created by artists from the Tri-City. We’re telling the story of Gdańsk, the Tri-City, and Pomerania in a new way, imbuing everyday objects with extraordinary meaning tied to the history and identity of this region.
Our projects:
Piotr Paluch: Wavy-Patterned T-Shirt
Falowiec is the most iconic residential building in Gdańsk. To mark the 50th anniversary of its completion, we’ve created T-shirts featuring an original embroidered symbol. The T-shirts are available in three colors: blue, white, and yellow. Long live Falowiec and its residents!
Piotr Paluch: “Gdańsk Woman / Gdańsk Man” MUG
For us, using feminine endings has long been a matter of course. This mug featuring a font by Piotr Pluch highlights just how important feminine forms are and the need to normalize their use. And what better way to get used to them than by sipping coffee or tea from your favorite mug? We’re committed to equal opportunities regardless of gender and to highlighting how important local identity is to us.
Maciek Salamon: SEASIDE TILES
What reminds us of a vacation by the sea? Maciek Salamon looked at the summer season through the lens of carefree moments spent in various spots around the Gulf of Gdańsk. His “Seaside Tiles” depict elements characteristic of the region in a playful and lighthearted style. We’ve prepared five designs: Toward the Sea, Baltic Seals, Shipyard Vibes, Seashells, and Gdańsk Cranes. The tiles measure 15 cm x 15 cm and are mounted on a cork backing.
Ania Witkowska: GDAŃSK SOCKS
Ania Witkowska has incorporated distinctive elements from downtown Gdańsk into these functional and colorful socks. Made from 80% cotton, these Gdańsk socks are available in two designs, featuring Neptune’s trident or fish—motifs recognizable to all tourists, this time in a new and contemporary style.
Ania Lubińska (Lubek): FAMOUS PEOPLE FROM GDANSK
The “Famous Gdańsk Residents” series features portraits of renowned residents of Gdańsk, depicted in Ania Lubińska’s—also known as Lubek—distinctive style. The artist has placed them in a domestic setting, referencing the city with which they were associated, dressing them in pajamas, and depicting them with their characteristic attributes. The illustrations feature Arthur Schopenhauer, a representative of pessimism in philosophy and a poodle lover who lived on Św. Ducha Street, Sat-Okha, or Stanisław Supłatowicz, a pioneer of the Native American movement who spent the last years of his life in Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz. He was a pioneer of the Indianist movement in Poland, and Johannes Hevelius, who had his own astronomical observatory in Gdańsk and was also a brewer.
Michał Pecko: MODERNIST POSTCARDS
These modernist postcards by Michał Pecko serve as a reminder of the extraordinary modernist buildings in Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia. All of these buildings continue to delight with their unique architecture, which we want to highlight—the set of postcards was printed using the RISO process. In total, we’ve prepared 12 postcards: from Gdańsk (the LOT Building, the Wybrzeże Theater, the Olimp Skyscraper, the Olivia Hall), Sopot (Meduza Café, Alga Bar, Miramar Hotel, North Baths), and Gdynia (Bankowiec, House of Crafts, Marine Station, Market Halls).
Ania Tatar: THE BALTIC WATER BOTTLE
The Baltic Water Bottle is an eco-friendly way to store cold and hot beverages, featuring an original illustration of the Baltic Sea’s flora and fauna, including: Baltic cod, the woolly-clawed crab, blue whiting, spiny dogfish, turbot, and Baltic mussel.
Marcin Dymiter: AUDIO POSTCARD
In this age of visual memories, what if we could bring back the sound of the sea with us? Marcin Dymiter, known as Emiter, a field recording artist, has created a maritime sound suite recorded on the shore of Gdańsk Bay. This shell-shaped vinyl record is an unusual audio-visual souvenir from the seaside. Limited edition of 20 copies. Running time: 2:40. Size: 7 inches.
