Fabryka Kamlera, Former furniture factory in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland.
Fabryka Kamlera was an industrial complex at 72 Dzielna Street serving as a center for furniture production with manufacturing halls, weaving department, design studios, and wood storage areas. The site included specialized workshops for woodworking and various production steps that together formed a complete operation.
The factory emerged during early Warsaw industrialization and grew into a significant center for quality furniture production. During the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, the Home Army used the site as a command headquarters before the original factory buildings were demolished in 2010.
The factory was a major employer in the Wola district and shaped community life through its skilled tradition in furniture making. It attracted craftsmen and workers who spent their days in workshops handling wood and design, creating a distinct working world around the site.
Visitors should know that the original factory site no longer exists, as buildings were removed in 2010 and replaced by new residential developments. The location is now present only through its history and name in the area, so a visit mainly enables understanding of local change through architectural research.
The factory employed around 400 workers by 1914 and was known for specialized craft operations, particularly in woodcarving and processing. This concentration of craftsmanship skills in one place made it an unusual production site for its era.
