International student competition in furniture and interior design
The contest originated as a tribute to the life-work of professor Halabala whose name is closely associated with the field of furniture production of the passed century in that time Czechoslovakia. The main idea of this event is to support the quality improvement of students’ works and to create a space for confrontation of creative ideas on an international level in long term. The intention is also to influence the development of furniture and interior design indirectly, to mention the role of a designer and support the communication among students and professionals. The Contest in Honour of Professor Halabala has been formed as a Czechoslovak contest in recent years – only students from the Czech and Slovak Republic were participating in this contest. Czech partner of the event: Mendel University in Brno.
In 2013 the 9th international contest will be open also for the students from other countries of the European Union for the first time.
