On July 28, 1992, a company was born in Gdańsk, whose history sounds almost like a melody from the old days – a melody that plays somewhere on the border between dream and reality. Elżbieta Korbutt, a woman with a calm but determined look, created something more than just a company. She founded a place that was to connect generations, memory and time.
The company name, BI KOR, was not a random combination of letters or a marketing invention. On the contrary, it hid something personal, deeply rooted in the heart and memory. It consisted of the first letters of the surname of Elżbieta's son, Grzegorz Biliczak, who was already looking at the world from a different dimension, and her own surname, Korbutt. BI KOR – a simple notation, and at the same time a symbol of a bond that, although it was no longer to be expressed in everyday conversations or hugs, was still alive in every action of this company.
I imagine how Elizabeth, surrounded by the silence of a summer morning on that memorable day in July, decided to give this endeavor a name. Maybe that was the moment when she first felt that what she was creating would be more than just a job? Maybe that was when she saw that behind every gesture, decision, and even everyday task, there would be something of life that she could no longer reach?
The BI KOR company became for her like a bridge between the past and the present, a trace of something extremely valuable that, despite the passage of time, remained present. Everyone who walked through the company's doors, everyone who viewed products bearing its name, unconsciously entered the world of memory and love enchanted in small gestures of everyday life.
