More about the designer Jindrich Halabala was born on May 24, 1903 in Korycany into the family of carpenter Štepán Halabala, whose craft he learned in a family business between 1918 and 1920. He then joined the State Czechoslovak Vocational School for Wood Processing in Valašské Mezirící, which he graduated from two years later. After school, he started practicing at the United UP races, where he met their founder Jan Vanek. In 1922 he also began to study architecture at the School of Applied Arts in Prague, specializing in furniture and interiors with prof. Pavel Janák. He completed his studies in 1926. In the same year, he created the first designs for furniture and carpets. In 1927, he was briefly employed in Bohumil Hübschmann's studio in Prague, and in 1928 he finally joined the United UP plant as the head of the Prague store in the Lucerna Palace. In 1927, Jindrich Halabala married Pavla Sekerková, with whom he had two sons; in 1929 son Jindra and in 1935 son Ivan. In 1930, he was transferred to the Brno headquarters of the United UP plant as head of the studio, where he worked in various positions (procurator, director) until 1946, and thus fundamentally contributed to a comprehensive concept of production, promotion and sales. Later, he became interested in passing on his knowledge to future generations, and between 1951 and 1954 he lectured externally at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Engineering at the VŠPDI in Košice. In 1954 he was appointed an extraordinary (and a year later also a full) professor and began his long-term work at the Faculty of Wood Science of the University of Forestry and Wood Technology in Zvolen, where he founded and headed the Research Institute. He worked here until 1970, when he retired. More about the manufacturer: UP Zavody was established in 1921 by merging the Brno furniture company J. Slavicka and the Jan Vanek Arts and Crafts Workshops in Trebíc. The initiator of the company was Jan Vanek, who strived for quality and purpose-built furniture, corresponding to contemporary trends. In 1930, architect Jindrich Halabala started working for the company, and initially devoted himself mainly to the then novelty, tubular furniture, and later became the director of the company. According to J. Halabala's designs, UP závody produced quality metal and wooden furniture, some types especially for companies promoting tasteful home accessories. More about Art Deco: Art Deco is a style that originated from France in the early 20th century. Its furniture designs are meticulously crafted, usually using exotic woods. Pieces are normally lacquered to give off a dazzling gloss. These eloquently crafted pieces will add visual performance and posh to any interior.
