Background: A systematic and continuous product policy management is important for a company's competitiveness and the question is to what extent and in what way companies engaged in the furniture manufacturing sector actually apply them. Objectives: The objective of this paper is to explore to what extent the design profession is involved in the product policy and teams which define market properties of products in the furniture industry. Methods: In order to achieve the objectives of this paper, the Model for Exploring the Role of Design in Defining Market Properties and the Product Policy in the Furniture Industry has been devised. Two surveys have been conducted, measuring the level of involvement of the design profession in the product policy, as well as the involvement of designers in the work of teams which define market properties of products in the furniture industry. Results: The design profession is not systematically and continuously involved in the function of the product policy as the key component in programming a company's development and growth in the furniture industry. Conclusions: Companies engaged in furniture manufacturing should consider the possibility of involving design managers in coordination and management of product development, as well as in communication coordination on the manufacturer - designer level.

Literal meaning of many fragments of Hebrew Bible represents a function of God as the builder, expressed by active participle בנה bōne(h). The paper deals with God’s acting concerning creation of the world as well as his direct and indirect activity as the investor, the designer and the builder of some buildings; mainly Jewish sanctuaries. That biblical representation of God’s acting is closely connected with cosmogony and theology of ancient Hebrews. The paper does not deal with allegoric or symbolic meaning of the biblical fragments analysing here. As the result of the analysis there is draw out the conclusion that the function of God as a builder displays an important aspect of his biblical figure.

Wiele fragmentów Biblii Hebrajskiej przypisuje Bogu literalnie funkcję budowniczego, określanego przy pomocy imiesłowu czynnego בנה bōne(h). Niniejsze opracowanie podejmuje problematykę stworzenia świata, a także bezpośredniej oraz pośredniej działalności Boga jako inwestora, projektanta i budowniczego obiektów budowlanych – w szczególności sanktuariów Izraela. Biblijne przedstawienie tych Bożych działań pozostaje w ścisłym związku z kosmogonią oraz teologią starożytnych Hebrajczyków. Nie omówiono sensu alegorycznego i symbolicznego analizowanych fragmentów biblijnych. W wyniku podjętej analizy wyprowadzono konkluzję, iż funkcja Boga jako budowniczego stanowi ważny element Jego biblijnego wizerunku.

The objective of this article is to define place and role of antique motives in modern art and design. Due to variety of creativness in XX/XXI century, created in different trends and beyond them, considerations were limited to sculptural art and design, based on creativness of French artist Léo Caillard and Israeli designer Ayala Serfaty. Interpretation of information, which was collected based on study of artists’ works of art, lead to conclusion that, despite different approach to antique tradition, both artists strive to similar targets and their intention is not imitation, but concept based on creation of surprising or even shocking links and juxtapositions. Research of contrasts between tradition and modernity is intended to provoke and encourage viewer to deeper and conscious interpretation of works of art and reflection about position of art in modern culture. It is essential to study esthetic contexts, circumstances of creation of works of art and motivation. The most important feature of this art is to induce strong impressions. Relations between viewer and work of art have crucial meaning. Approximation and logic of thinking, which are characteristic for each research orientations in history of classic and modern art, represents theoretical background of this article. In this context, there are references to Joachim Winckelmann, recognized as creator of methodological basics for researchment on ancient art. There are references to Franz Wickhoff, Aby Warburg and Erwin Panofsky who dealt with iconographical and iconographical-iconological methods.

Teoria inteligentnego projektu głosi, że pewne zjawiska biologiczne i kosmiczne zostały zaprojektowane przez istotę inteligentną, która równie dobrze może być naturalna, jak nadnaturalna, i że projekt ten jest wykrywalny naukowo. Krytycy często wskazują, że podobieństwa między wszystkimi organizmami żywymi jednoznacznie świadczą o ich wspólnym pochodzeniu, przemawiając zarazem przeciwko teorii inteligentnego projektu i za teorią ewolucji, która jest dla nich jedynym sensownym wytłumaczeniem tego zjawiska. Okazuje się jednak, że argument ten jest nie do utrzymania, ponieważ podobieństwa mogą stanowić jednoznaczne świadectwo ewolucji tylko przy przyjęciu określonych (i spornych) filozoficznych założeń na temat tego, czym są racjonalne wyjaśnienia i czym jest nauka. Bez tych założeń teoria inteligentnego projektu pozostaje otwartą możliwością, która na dodatek nie jest sprzeczna ze wskazywanymi przez ewolucjonistów faktami.

The intelligent design theory claims that certain biological and cosmic phenomena were designed by an intelligent being which could be just as well natural and supernatural, and that this design is scientifically detectable. Critics often point out that the similarity between all living organisms is unequivocal evidence of their common descent, which, at the same time, speaks against the intelligent design theory and for the theory of evolution which is, for them, the only reasonable explanation of this phenomenon. It turns out, however, that this argument is untenable because similarities can be viewed as unequivocal evidence of evolution only if we accept specific (and controversial) philosophical assumptions about what counts as rational explanations and science. Without these assumptions, the intelligent design theory remains an open possibility which, in addition, is not contradictory to the facts indicated by the evolutionists.

Artykuł prezentuje sylwetkę i twórczość Arthura Edwarda Gurneya (1875-1947), brytyjskiego architekta i budowniczego czynnego w Warszawie na początku XX w., którego dokonania nie doczekały się do tej pory pogłębionych badań. Przedstawiono pochodzenie i wykształcenie architekta, jego działalność społeczną i publicystyczną, a przede wszystkim zawodową. Gurney miał udział w powstaniu ważnych obiektów w Warszawie i na dawnych ziemiach Rzeczypospolitej pod zaborem rosyjskim. Wśród najważniejszych inwestycji można wymienić wieżowiec firmy „Cedergren” w Warszawie, Bibliotekę Publiczną w Warszawie czy kolonię domków dla służby folwarcznej w Fabiankach. Gurney był zaprzyjaźniony i związany zawodowo z Bronisławem Brochwicz-Rogóyskim; charakterystyczne dla jego twórczości było wykorzystanie motywów zaczerpniętych ze średniowiecznej architektury warowno-obronnej, znajdował się też pod wpływem ruchu Arts and Crafts. Działalność publicystyczna Gurneya przyczyniła się do popularyzacji wiedzy o polskiej historii i kulturze za granicą.
