Chcemy pokazać Państwu efekty współpracy Nowy model i Modus Design | Studio Marka Cecuły, aby nadchodzący rok rozpoczął się lokalnym akcentem symbolizującym poznańskie wartości i tradycje.
Kiedy w zeszłym Urząd Miasta Poznania rozpoczął debatę na temat identyfikacji wizualnej oraz wartościach, które mogą promować Poznań, uznaliśmy, ze to co w pyrach, koziołkach i rogalach zaklęte doskonale wybrzmi w nowoczesnej formie wzorniczej.
Udało nam się nakłonić charyzmatycznego i prawdopodobnie najbardziej rozpoznawalnego na świecie polskiego projektanta, artystę ceramika Marka Cecułę do zaprojektowania unikalnych obiektów porcelanowych nawiązujących do symboliki Poznania i Wielkopolski.
Jesteśmy przekonani, ze wielkopolski design, rzemiosło i sztuki użytkowe, są jednym z najcenniejszych dóbr regionu, które warto rozwijać i promować.
Porcelanowe solniczki i pieprzniczki zaprojektowane dla Nowymodel przez Marka Cecułę z myślą, o Poznaniu i Wielkopolsce to doskonały prezent, a zarazem funkcjonalny obiekt designerski. Mamy nadzieję, że sprawdzi się w Państwa otoczeniu.
Jesteśmy otwarci na wszelkie Państwa pomysły oraz zainteresowani współpracą, przy promocji najważniejszych wartości naszego miasta i regionu.
My już wybraliśmy naszą pyrę, a Państwo?

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.

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
Open WORKSHOPS: „"We are looking for the identity of Poznań"” December 10, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. You can join the workshops at any time
OPENING and DISCUSSION of the design works by Marek Cecuła: December 10, 7 p.m.

EXHIBITION: "Together with Marek Cecuła, we are looking for the identity of Poznań"„
We cordially invite you to an exhibition of modern porcelain designed by Marek Cecuła and his design studio Modus Design, presenting porcelain objects made with Poznań and its promotion through design in mind.
The exhibition will also feature furniture and other functional objects designed by artists collaborating with the Nowymodel Foundation. These include works by Cyryl Zakrzewski, Ronen Kadushin, Karol Starczewski, and Michał Dumin. Classics of Polish design by designers from Greater Poland, brought back to life by the nowymodel.org foundation, will also be on display: a variable-height bookcase and a table designed by Professor Rajmund Teofil Hałas, and the "Kowalski Chair" designed by Bogusława and Czesław Kowalski.
Poznań City Hall announced a competition in the fall for the logo for the Free City of Poznań slogan, thus initiating a broader discussion about the image and visual identification of our city. What can we replace the "city of know-how" and the infamous star? What could Poznań residents identify with? How should we promote our city today?
Some of the specific motifs associated with the region in the minds of Poles are Poznań potato dumplings, koziołki (goats) or St. Martin's croissants... On the other hand, Poznań is a city that can boast a long tradition of design, crafts and, in general, products of material culture.
Following this lead, thanks to the collaboration between the nowymodel.org foundation, Modus Design, and the porcelain factory in Ćmielów, we managed to persuade the charismatic and probably the most recognizable Polish designer in the world – Marek Cecuła – to design unique porcelain objects referring to the symbolism and tradition of Poznań.
What will these facilities be like? Come and see for yourself.
WORKSHOPS: Participants will be able to tackle design tasks and issues related to the city and its problems, particularly those related to visual identification, with expert assistance from workshop leaders from the nowymodel.org Foundation. The works will be hung on strings – in a workshop format called "design washing" – and will become an interesting, substantive and spatial object. The workshop format is inspired by the plein-air workshops led by Professor Rajmund Teofil Hałas, one of the masters of Greater Poland design. The professor encouraged his students to think creatively in every possible way. One of these was this "washing," or attempting to look at design with a completely new perspective: as if it had become very dirty from the stains of routine, as if it had become stiff with dust, as if it had turned gray and faded…
The entire process will culminate in design consultations – a discussion of the work – conducted by renowned designers, including Marek Cecuła, Edyta Cieloch, Cyryl Zakrzewski, and a discussion.
MAREK CECUŁA: A world-renowned artist, ceramist, educator, and curator. One of the most charismatic figures in Polish design, a charming erudite with Renaissance horizons. A designer of functional ceramics, he also treats it as a medium for expressing important artistic messages. In his work, the boundaries between design, craft, and sculpture are virtually nonexistent. Meeting Marek Cecuła is an intellectual feast: his extensive experience, travels, the passion with which he approaches his work and art, his curiosity about the world, and the joy of constantly learning about it make the conversation endless. Whether the artist is discussing a new project, a material he has suddenly discovered that inspires him, contemporary theater, early music, or oriental cuisine—everything becomes a fascinating adventure. He was born on April 23, 1944, in Częstochowa and lived in Kielce. He emigrated to Israel at the age of 16. Then came Brazil, and from 1976, New York. There, he founded the Modus Design studio and the Contemporary Porcelain gallery. He was Dean of the Ceramics Department at Parsons School of Design in New York (1985-2004) and a guest professor at the National Academy of the Arts in Bergen (2004-2010). In the late 1990s, he moved his Modus Design studio to Poland. In 2012, he opened the Design Centrum Kielce, and a year later, the Ćmielów Design Studio, of which he is the artistic director. Everything he knows about ceramics (and he knows a lot!) he learned "on the road," gaining experience on various continents.
