Founders
The School of Form was established on the initiative of Piotr Voelkel, the founder of SWPS University. Zuzanna Skalska, a trend forecaster working in Poland and the Netherlands, inspired him to collaborate with Lidewij Edelkoort, the long-time director of the Design Academy Eindhoven. Together with Agnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka and Dawid Wiener, Li Edelkoort created the curriculum foundations. In the early years of the School of Form in Poznań, Li Edelkoort served as its strategic director.
