“Remember me when you are at the beach and above all when you paint crackling things and little ashes. Oh my little ashes! Put my name in the picture so that my name will serve for something in the world.”
— Federico Garcia Lorca to Salvador Dali

FROM DECAY TO DECADENCE
My name is Monika and for the past few years I have been combining my passion for antiques, interiors, glamour, and sustainability in the form of decadently upcycled furniture and bespoke home decor under the moniker of 84 Square.
From a young age my parents instilled me with the mindset that anything can be repaired, reused and re-loved. Growing up in Gdansk, Poland we were very frugal with our belongings and it was the family standard to take good care of our possessions. By not living a throwaway lifestyle I learnt to appreciate the longevity of a well-crafted item. When I moved to England to live with my partner we began to accumulate a house full of second hand furniture that we had found on marketplace and this important standard that had been set by my family pushed me to upcycle them into revitalised versions of their former selves.
