Julia Starczewska-Zakrzewska, president of nowymodel.org, about our "Kowalski Chair" for Take Me To Design:
A product from the "Icons of Polish Design" series. This classic chair, designed by the renowned Poznań interior designers and architects Bogusława and Czesław Kowalski, was originally part of their legendary wall unit set from the communist era, but it never went into production. It was only thanks to nowymodel.org that it finally took shape and has been available on the market since 2014. Light, slim, and stylish, each chair is handmade from beech wood and bent plywood covered with natural chestnut veneer, resulting in varying shades and grain patterns.
We are pleased to announce that modular furniture LOCOSYSTEM designed by Karol Starczewski were nominated in the competition for the Marshal of the Wielkopolska Voivodeship Award "i-Wielkopolska – Innovative for Wielkopolska" in the Interiors of the Future category.
The second stage of substantive evaluation will take place during the Wielkopolska Smart Specialisation Forum on 1 December 2017.
LOCOSYSTEM is a system of platforms and shelving units with the ability to freely position the shelves vertically and horizontally. Nine different shelf shapes – straight, curved, wave-shaped, and corner – provide virtually unlimited freedom in furniture configuration. They can be used to create shelving units, desks, seats, cabinets, drawers, and many other interior furnishings (each module can be additionally equipped with a back and doors). With the help of LOCOSYSTEM you can separate communication routes and functional spaces, create places for work, play and relaxation.
LOCOSYSTEM allows you to quickly and easily model and change spatial arrangements. Just like using Lego blocks.
It's stable, lightweight, and easy to assemble. It's perfect for both private and public spaces: offices, libraries, editorial offices, and cultural spaces.
The designer's patented screwless mounting system allows for easy assembly of the shelves without the use of tools and for each shelf to be placed anywhere.

We cordially encourage all lovers of good design from Poznań to vote for Olimpia (project no. 42) in the Poznań Participatory Budget. Let's bring back Olympia, the city, its inhabitants and local artists. We need your support to ensure that Olimpia, instead of being a vacant building, becomes a thriving center of culture, art, and education. City-wide project No. 42 This is a chance to develop its potential. You can vote only for a few more days – until October 30th on the Poznań Participatory Budget website. It will only take you a few moments!
The OLIMPIA Community Cultural Center is a viable response to the growing activity of Poznań residents and the housing shortages faced by even the largest festival organizers. The building's prime location, size, and green courtyard offer the opportunity to create a year-round cultural and educational space. It can accommodate independent theaters, studios, thematic workshops, galleries, rehearsal spaces, offices of associations and aid foundations, and local senior clubs.
The OLIMPIA building, which covers 4,940 square meters, is the only cultural facility in Poznań that is four-fifths vacant. OLIMPIA requires a major renovation, for which, of course, there are no funds.
To continue waiting for a miracle is public waste.
Let's take the first step. We want to use the money for: ✔construction and commissioning of a heating system for the entire building ✔repair of the building's electrical and power installations ✔ elevator replacement
This is why: ✔ We encourage you to become interested in the idea of a Citizens' Budget. ✔We encourage you to vote for project no. 42: Olimpia. 4,940 m2 for culture and education.
Let's create a Social Place of Culture together!
The author of the project to revive Olympia is Adam Ziajski, head of the Working Stage – Center for Theatre Studies
Today and tomorrow (October 20-21) we cordially invite you to the design and fashion fair at the Atrium of Stary Browar in Poznań.
During New Market by TUTU IMUGO+ stools and bar stools designed by the team will have their premiere nowymodel.org. The inspiration for their creation was the original IMUGO stool designed by Rajmund Teofil Hałas in 1960. IMUGO+ is adapted to modern standards and requirements. The two stool models differ in height, and the new version of the IMUGO stool is slightly bigger and stronger than the original design.
During the fair we will also show: Shelf with variable heights – designed by RT Hałas. Dune chair – designed by. Cyryl Zakrzewski Dali coffee table – designed by. Mateusz Ligocki and Adam Werda
