Wise Habit Concept Store - The Story Behind the Space
Concept Story The Wise Habit Concept Store opened its doors in June 2023 as a vibrant physical space, brought to life through meaningful encounters and inspiring conversations. At its core was a thoughtfully curated selection of design objects from around the world - always guided by three key pillars: awareness, sustainability, and design quality.
Wise Habit Concept is both a multi-brand concept store and an online platform, uniting exceptional products that support mindful daily rituals, personal wellbeing, and harmonious living with nature. We curate objects that carry meaning - from ceramics and textiles to tea accessories, always with deep respect for craftsmanship, materials, and the environment.
This is where Wise Talks, Wise Movies screenings, Be Aware discussions, and Wise Habit Curates exhibitions took place - a space for exchanging ideas, inspiration, and practices for wiser living.
Wise Talks - 19 events!
Be Aware - 13 sessions!
Wise Movies - 16 film screenings!
Wise Habit Curates - 4 exhibitions!

Be Aware
A series created to foster self-awareness and inner balance through mindful practices that help us reconnect with ourselves, quiet the mind, and make more conscious decisions.
Within the nurturing space of Wise Habit, we cultivated the conditions to slow down, refocus, and tune into our internal rhythm. This is a journey that doesn’t require dramatic change - just a moment of presence each day to begin transformation. Be Aware is an invitation to live in harmony with yourself. Growth starts with presence.

1. It is Wise to be Sustainable - How Not to Drown in Waste? - Marcin Szczelina, Anna Domin, hosted by Marcelina Plichta-Wabnik.

Wise Habit Movies
A curatorial film series combining documentary and fiction films that explore our relationship with nature, technology, work, human connection, and the design of the world we live in. These films aim to inspire, move, and provoke reflection on what truly matters today.
Wise Habit Movies is more than a film screening - it's an invitation to a conversation on how to live more wisely, consciously, and responsibly.

Wise Habit Curates
Art with intention.
An original exhibition series that went beyond aesthetics - inviting reflection and sparking essential conversations. Wise Habit Curates showcases socially, economically, and environmentally engaged art.
We believe art has the power to shift perspectives and open space for dialogue. That’s why we chose works that not only delight with form but also inspire conscious action. This is a story about how creativity can address the most urgent themes of our times - with care for the future, empathy for humanity, and attentiveness to the world.
