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.
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.
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.
Co-organizers: – Gdynia Design Days This annual festival showcases the latest trends and best practices in design. The program, packed with inspiring exhibitions, lectures, workshops, talks, and discussions, is aimed at professionals, young entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts seeking inspiration for creative endeavors and creative pastimes.

Gdynia is also the only design festival in Poland where prototypes with a chance of implementation are created. http://gdyniadesigndays.eu/ – Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola....”
We invite you to the next edition of the "Interior Festival" exhibition, presenting the achievements of the nowymodel.org team. You will see the designs of our master, Professor Rajmund Teofil Hałas (an excellent shelf with adjustable heights and three-color chairs from the turn of the 1950s and 1960s) and the IMUGO series stools), as well as his "children and grandchildren": Tomasz Augustyniak (the witty little table ZUCH), Michał Kowalski (lamps i containers COSY and TRIO, connected with a zipper), Zofia Żadan (peekaboo! screens that can organize any apartment), and the founder of our foundation, Karol Starczewski (KANWA folding chairs and tables, LOCOSYSTEM platforms, and a ROCKING chair that easily converts into a guest bed). There will also be porcelain designed by Marek Cecuła from Modus Design in Kielce.
We've also prepared a design workshop called "Shedding New Light," designed for all lovers of original forms (design students, children, and design enthusiasts alike). We're happy to share our projects, but it's best to sit comfortably in our chairs or rock in an armchair and see for yourself how it works.
At nowymodel.org, a new inspiration from Paweł Grajkowski's design awaits you: a shelf that can be modified in any way you like. Visit the website: take a look, rate it, and let your imagination run wild with the Polish Shelf!
Arena Design (17-20.02.2015, Poznań International Fair, Hall 5)
New furniture, new designers, new contacts, new experiences – at Arena Design, we want to share with you everything that resulted from our foundation's very busy year. We invite you!
We've prepared an exhibition, lecture, and workshops. Our entire team will be at your disposal.
PREMIERE PROJECTS
We've prepared brand new equipment especially for the fair. Three of them will be on display for the first time:
POLISH SHELF BY PAWEŁ GRAJKOWSKI
With this shelf, you can dance many variations in different rhythms. You can use it in pairs, or even in fours. It can even be folded into a complete suite. Its simple plywood form invites you to play with arranging the space and give your interior a unique character. We invite you to dance.
CYRIL ZAKRZEWSKI'S MODUS TERRA
Natural materials, natural forms, natural beauty. The designer values nature's inspiration above all else. Naturally, he also invites you to explore your own interpretations of this original form and find a natural setting for it. Moduss Terra will certainly add warmth to it.
IRBIS SURF & KITE – MKO-0411-0004 BY MICHAŁ KOWALSKI
Born from a passion for sports and the designer's talent for design, he practically created it for himself. This board is suitable for windsurfing and ice kitesurfing. Light and compact, it easily fits in a car. It is equipped with a longboard steering system, four high-quality stainless steel runners, and low-temperature-resistant plastic slide bearings. The body is made of plywood. A stiffening system is located underneath. The board features printed graphics and anti-slip properties. It has been tested at speeds of up to 50 km/h on both hard and soft ice.
MASTER PROJECTS
Our collection of Polish Design Icons is growing. Following the success of Teofila Hałas's Rajmudna Height-Adjustable Shelf (a must-have at the Łódź fair), now available in three versions (natural, white oiled, and distressed), we're introducing a new piece of furniture: the Coffee and Cigarettes table. Our Master continues to surprise us. The table's prototype served Mrs. Stenia Hałas for many years, and later her grandson, Franek. It captivated us at first sight. When we learned that the Professor used to call it, somewhat ironically, "just coffee and cigarettes," we immediately decided that was the perfect name for it: it unites both Jim Jarmusch fans and sophisticated connoisseurs of retro furniture. Its sweet secret is its threaded wooden legs. Each one is exquisite. Since its June premiere, the KOWALSKI CHAIR has triumphantly toured Poland. After years, it's finally making a comeback. Do you remember the legendary Kowalski wall unit? You certainly do. It was used to furnish most communist-era homes in the 1960s and 1970s. Designed by Bogusława and Czesław Kowalscy, they won a national furniture competition. The set also included a chair, though it never went into mass production. Perhaps it was too sophisticated for the harsh times? Perhaps too difficult to make in a socialist factory? We'll never know. But we do have a chair! A real one. Comfortable. Elegant. Equal parts retro and modern. Please take a seat! During the Arena Design trade fair, we'll be hosting Jacek Kowalski at our booth – the designers' son and author of the excellent book "Kowalski Furniture. People and Things." The book is available for purchase with a signature, of course! We've finally seen the launch of a piece of furniture we've been asking about for a long time. It's perfect for any child's room and can "grow" with your child. This is Wojciech Hora's STUDENT WORK SPACE. His graduation project, published in 1987, was presented a year later at an exhibition at the Zachęta Gallery, where it earned the designer an award for the best graduation project in furniture design and a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and Art. The furniture is made of varnished or oiled beech slats. The tabletop is made of lightweight, layered board, varnished (with chalkboard paint). The tabletop edges are made of beechwood. The clamps are made of stainless steel.
KAROL STARCZEWSKI COLLECTION
The founder of our foundation continues to pursue his own design work. His furniture has traveled with us across Poland, gaining increasing recognition. We will be showcasing five of them at Arena Design.
ROCKING CHAIR
You can rock on it, you can sway, you can also unfold the armchair and sleep on the mattress, and store bedding in the backrest. We don't rock!
GOATS 1/2x
They were born out of necessity as workbenches for workshop use. They proved so useful and popular that we decided to include them in our collection. They've traveled halfway across Poland with us, making them perfect for travel: they're handy and easy to assemble. They've gracefully furnished boutique and studio interiors, allowing for any styling. They're also at home in the kitchen. They owe their name to the X hangers, with which they were paired at the Szczecin trade fair. Half the size, they've become our favorite, elegant fraction.
CANVAS
This armchair is our most tried-and-true piece of furniture. Its history has evolved. Initially, it was primarily multifunctional, so it was beloved by perpetual travelers. Now, it's increasingly comfortable and is also winning the hearts of those who settle in for longer periods. It has appealed to both directors, who associate it with the set of a Hollywood movie, and sailors, who pack it under the deck of their boats. It travels with us everywhere, and even during the busiest trade fair days, it allows you to feel, at least for a moment, like you're at a Roman feast and simply relax.
POSITIVO
A table without edges – it seats ten people without anyone sitting on the corner. Simple, light, and easy to handle. It features an original ornament that showcases the structure of the plywood from which it is made. The set also includes benches.
LOCOSYSTEM: SHELVES AND PLATFORMS
This set is a hit: it works well in apartments, shops, and offices. The functional connection system makes assembly easy for even a layman. LOCOSYSTEM offers shelving units with a simple, sinuous design, as well as platforms that function perfectly as storage compartments.
DESSERT FOR CONNOISSEUR
We're thrilled to be showcasing Marek Cecuła's designs, created at Modus Design for Ćmielów Design Studio, at the fair. These include our favorite RANDOM mugs, the curved series mugs, and the ZZ pepper and salt shakers. This will be a complete porcelain table set by the Master. Ryszard Mańczek's masterful touch is also evident in the PARABOLICA lamp, which can find the perfect form for any material. Its soft edges, sleek silhouette, and milky light make this lamp both soothing and pleasing to the eye.
LECTURE BY FILIP SPEKA
We also invite you to Filip Spek's lecture, "Where Did So Much Furniture Come From? On the History of Poznań's Design Center," on February 18, 3:30-4:30 PM, on the Forum Stage. Filip Spek is a passionate and passionate design enthusiast. He is also a diligent seeker, researcher, and interpreter. His lectures are like journeys into a retro world that hasn't faded away: it persists in colorful narratives, rich iconography, and the belief that beauty has its time, but also exists beyond time. nowymodel.org is pleased to invite you to journey in his distinguished company. Filip Wiktor Spek (born 1992 in Piła), a student at the Institute of Art History at the University of Warsaw. He participated in the conference "Hybrids, Chimeras, and Monsters in World Cultures"; he is the author of two essays that received distinctions in competitions organized by the State Higher Vocational School and the Municipal Office in Piła, published in the volumes "Presence and Trace – A Story About Piła Worth Meeting" and "In Search of the City's Cultural Identity."
