Rajmund Teofil Hałas – what do we know about the professor?

Visual artist, architect, furniture designer.

He was born in Krobia, Greater Poland, into a family with a long tradition of carpentry, begun by his great-grandfather Jakub Węcławski in the mid-19th century. Jakub's workshop was taken over by his son-in-law, Franciszek Hałas, who taught his son Teofil the trade. He, in turn, built a furniture factory in 1922. The family tradition was continued by Teofil's sons, Zygmunt and Rajmund Teofil, who, after studying at the Carpentry and Sculpture High School in Cieplice-Zdrój, obtained a master carpenter's diploma.

In 1951, Rajmund T. Hałas began his studies at the State Higher School of Fine Arts (PWSSP) in Poznań at the Faculty of Interior Design, graduating with a diploma under the supervision of Professor Jerzy Staniszkis.

After graduating, he became involved in the furniture industry, managing a Furniture Design Studio that served the entire industry. His designs included the VARIABLE HEIGHT SHELF (1959) and the RED – WHITE – BLACK chair series (1957–62).

In 1960, he founded the Koło group with Czesław Kowalski (author of MEBLOŚCIANKI KOWALSKICH), Leonard Kuczma, and Janusz Różański. This group initiated efforts to organize a Furniture Biennale in Poznań. Less than twenty years later (in 1978), the Organizing Committee of the First International Furniture Triennial was established.

In 1964, he was on a scholarship to the Helsinki Institute of Industrial Arts, and a year later, to Great Britain. There, he encountered artists of such stature as Alvar Aalto and Gordon Russell. His travels to the West led to the establishment of the Department of Industrial Design at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Poznań in 1971, where he led the Inspirational Design Studio. He remained associated with the Poznań university until the end of his exceptionally active life. After his retirement as a professor, he served as a consultant at the Department of Design and lectured on the history of architecture and design at the Faculty of Architecture and Design.
On the initiative of Marek Hałas, the Professor's nephew, the Museum of Carpentry and Bishopric was established in the buildings of his grandfather Teofil's former furniture factory in Krobia, under the patronage of Rajmund Teofil Hałas.

„"…One hundred years – one hundred Polish designs. During the Gdynia Design Days, The ABCs of Polish Design exhibition will present some of the most important Polish designs of the past century.

It's not easy to show one hundred years of Polish design in just one hundred objects. Which ones were really the most important? The most intriguing? How does one choose? How does one show more than just the iconic designs that everyone knows?

Contemporary design will be presented alongside classic designs and everyday favorites. The exhibition is a journey through the history of Polish design: the pieces are presented in chronological order.

The exhibition will also present interpretations of these design icons – twenty-five contemporary Polish illustrators and graphic designers were asked to share their visual interpretations of the pieces on display. Moreover, the exhibition will also share the stories behind each of the designs: find out about the designers, their inspirations and their creative process.

The ABCs of Polish Design exhibition

 

Together with Adam Mickiewicz Institute we are counting down to the start of the festival Gdynia Design Days during which the exhibition will take place The ABCs of Polish Design which will showcase the 100 most important Polish design projects of the last century, including the "Variable Height Shelf" designed by Professor Rajmund T. Hałas.
WE INVITE YOU.

The exhibition will be on view in Gdynia from June 30 to July 9, 2017. It will then move to Budapest, where it will be open to the public for a month, from September 25 to October 25, 2017.

The exhibition is organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute / Culture.pl
Co-organizers: Gdynia Design Days, Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola
Project supported by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage Program Independent


„…The 100 most important Polish design projects from the last century will be exhibited in Gdynia between June 30 and July 9, 2017. The exhibition will then move to Budapest, where it will be open to visitors for a month, from September 25 to October 25, 2017.

It's not easy to showcase 100 years of Polish design by limiting yourself to just 100 objects. How do you choose the most important elements? How do you avoid the temptation to showcase only icons? How do you engage more than just experts? How do you showcase the diversity of design disciplines?

Among the 100 projects, next to furniture, glass and porcelain, i.e. items commonly associated with design, there were things such as:The most obvious: typefaces, logos, children's toys, a locomotive, a neon sign, a glider, a scooter, and even the tastiest Polish treat, Ptasie Mleczko, and the rubber ring, Ringo – a Polish sports game. Presented are both contemporary designs and those that have already earned the title of classic. Unique pieces, bordering on individual works of art; prototypes that never entered mass production; but also very popular items that Poles have used daily for the past 100 years.

This exhibition also connects the past with the present, showcasing the legacy of Polish design through the achievements of contemporary Polish graphic design. The "Primer" exhibition presents 100 works by Polish designers interpreted by twenty-five Polish illustrators – artists with very diverse backgrounds: experienced masters of the Polish School of Illustration, illustrators of the young and middle generation currently winning awards worldwide, and young artists who have just graduated. Most of the invited graphic designers illustrate children's books while also working in the broad field of visual communication. They represent a variety of styles and techniques, but all share a common talent.

The exhibition is not only 100 objects and 100 artistic interpretations of them, but also 100 stories: about designers, needs, dreams, possibilities, and limitations. It tells more than just specific projects. It also reveals the design process, how ideas are created, and ultimately, the incredible concept of design – the art form closest to humanity, one that surrounds us all, one that we interact with every day, and one that we couldn't live without, though we often don't realize it.

The chronological presentation of the projects highlights how, throughout the 100-year history of Polish design, certain materials, themes, and forms recur, constantly taking on new forms. The exhibition is aimed at a wide audience, including the youngest generation. It was created to commemorate the centenary of Poland's independence.

The exhibition is curated by Ewa Solarz. Participating illustrators include: Jacek Ambrożewski, Edgar Bąk, Maciek Blaźniak, Katarzyna Bogucka, Ada Buchholc, Iwona Chmielewska, Robert Czajka, Agata Dudek, Emilia Dziubak, Małgorzata Gurowska, Monika Hanulak, Marta Ignerska, Tymek Jezierski, Paweł Jońca, Agata Królak, Grażka Lange, Patryk Mogilnicki, Piotr Młodożeniec, Ania Niemierko, Ola Niepsuj, Marianna Oklejak, Paweł Pawlak, Dawid Ryski, Marianna Sztyma, and Ola Woldańska-Płocińska.

The exhibition is organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute operating under the Culture.pl brand.

“Kowalski's Chair” exhibition.

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition “Kowalski's Chair”.

Thursday, June 22nd 2017 / 7 pm / SH Studio (Wilcza 44) / Warsaw

curators: Cyryl Zakrzewski/ Piotr Szpilski

The exhibition will be available until June 29th, from Monday to Saturday (Monday from 1 to 7 pm., Teusday – Friday from 11 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 2 pm to 6 pm)

A classic chair designed by the famous couple of designers and interior architects from Poznań, Bogusława and Czeslaw Kowalski, had originally been a part of their legendary “wall-set”, but never entered production. Only since 2014, thanks to nowymodel.org it has finally become material reality and is now available on the market.

It is light, slim and stylish. Each piece is made by hand of bent beech plywood covered with natural chestnut veneer, which gives it its unique tinge and graining.

Kowalski's chair is an ideal example of how the sixty-years old vision of modernity, thanks to its simplicity, ergonomics and innovative character, is still perfectly up-to-date and that design can be an important element of our common identity.
