TOMASZ DANIELEC
CO-FOUNDER AND DESIGNER AT BAKER STREET BOYS LONDON.
THE UNIQUENESS OF HIS WORKS IS DETERMINED BY THE SIMPLICITY AND FUNCTIONALITY OF FORMS ENRICHED WITH SCULPTURAL VALUES. IN HIS PROJECTS, TOMASZ FOCUSES ON PLAYING WITH GEOMETRY, CONTRASTS, LINES AND NATURAL, UNAPPRECIATED MATERIALS.
THANKS TO THE COOPERATION WITH THE FORCES OF NATURE, HIS DESIGNS BECOME ONE OF A KIND FUNCTIONAL ART PIECES.
TOMASZ’S FURNITURE DECORATES THE INTERIORS OF, AMONG OTHERS, THE DUBAI’S ROYAL FAMILY MEMBER, THE OLYMPIC MEDALIST TOM DALEY OR OSCAR WINNER DUSTIN LANCE BLACK. TOMASZ’S WORK WAS CURATED BY RAY KELVIN, THE TED BAKER BRAND FOUNDER, FOR HIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT MOUNT TERRACE IN BOURNEMOUTH.
TOMASZ IS ALSO THE FIRST FURNITURE DESIGNER IN THE HISTORY OF POLAND (THE SECOND POLE AFTER ANJA RUBIK), WHOSE DESIGN WAS INCLUDED IN THE OFFER OF LIBERTY OF LONDON.
IN 2018, AT THE SPECIAL REQUEST OF THE DESIGN MUSEUM OF LONDON, TOMASZ CREATED AN OBJECT OF FUNCTIONAL ART CALLED THE PYRAMID, WHICH BECAME AN INTRODUCTION TO HIS BOOK ON ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS IN ARCHITECTURE THROUGH THE USE OF APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION METHODS (THE BOOK IS STILL BEING WRITTEN).
BEFORE STARTING HIS CAREER AS A DESIGNER, TOMASZ FULFILLED HIMSELF AS AN ARCHITECT. DURING HIS 20-YEAR CAREER, HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE RENOWNED ARCHITECT TOMASZ KONIOR, RAFAEL VIÑOLY OR ROBIN PARTINGTON, HAVING A SIGNIFICANT SHARE IN BUILDING PROJECTS SUCH AS THE AWARD-WINNING MIDDLE SCHOOL IN BIAŁOŁĘKA (WARSAW), THE MASTERPLAN FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD OR THE PARK HOUSE LOCATED ON OXFORD STREET (PROJECT FOR THE ROYAL QATAR FAMILY). OVER THE COURSE OF AN ARCHITECT’S CAREER, HE WAS AWARDED, AMONG OTHERS, THE PRIME MINISTER OF POLAND AWARD FOR THE BEST PUBLIC BUILDING OF 2005 AND THE LEONARDO AWARD GRANTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF ARCHITECTS (UIA) FOR THE BEST PUBLIC BUILDING IN EASTERN EUROPE IN 2007 FOR AN ARCHITECT UNDER 30.
