I am thrilled to announce that SAW - Stowarzyszenie Architektów Wnętrz / Association of Interior Architects, has been accepted to European Council of Interior Architects ECIA as an Effective Member. At the General Assembly of member organizations from all over Europe, which took place in Lucerne🇨🇭, between 13-15.09, I had the honor of presenting SAW (saw.org.pl) and then our candidacy was put to a vote and accepted unanimously. So now, as SAW, we are the only organization from Poland associating interior architects, which belongs to recognized international associations such as European Council of Interior Architects ECIA. This means that our goals and activities are consistent with those of ECIA and other member associations from all over Europe. Representatives of the Board of International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers were also present at the meeting. At the same meeting, Ireland's accession was also voted on! Congratulations! We would like to thank to the Board of ECIA and to 18 member organizations from varios countries. This is a great honour for us, a big step in our development, and a huge opportunity to exchange experiences with other similar associations throughout Europe. #saworgpl #ecia #interiorarchitect #interiorarchitecture #membership
