Yet another image that was a part of both my OCAD and Ryerson portfolio submissions. Taken on a school nature walk... It was horrible, cold day, heavy rain. Mother Nature didn't want us walking that day.

Vello Hubel

HUBEL, VELLO – Born 1927, Tallinn, Estonia; died 1996. Vello Hubel is most remembered as an outstanding teacher. He taught at the Ontario College of Art between 1965 and 1993 and won the A.J. Casson Teaching Award in 1988. He eventually rose to become Chair of the Industrial Design department at OCA as well as President of the Industrial Design Association of Canada. His roster of former students who are now leading designers includes Miles Keller, Helen Kerr and Scot Laughton. With Dierdre Lussow, Hubel authored Focus on Designing, 1984. Hubel immigrated to Canada in 1947. He put himself through school working as a mechanical draftsman and graduated from the Ontario College of Art in industrial design in 1953. Five years later, he founded a design office, which had many blue-chip clients. He produced television and stereo cabinets for Sparton of Canada (1959 – 67) and CGE (1967 – 71), household lighting for William J. Campbell Company (1960 – 61) and residential furniture for Knechtel Furniture Company (1968 – 76). In the sixties, Hubel entered an experimental phase and created several critically acclaimed prototypes, including the Playsphere playground (1966), children’s cubed furniture (1966) and Infinitum outdoor seating (1969). Between 1974 and 1979, he partnered with Robert Kaiser. His best work was for Baronet Corporation, the family-run residential furniture manufacturer in Quebec. Designing for the company for more than thirty years, Hubel created contemporary updates of period designs that helped make the company a leading manufacturer of residential furniture. Toward the end of his career, Hubel dabbled in the postmodern style, creating the overly cute Wink and Flirt chairs for Vogel. His more successful Clover Leaf table for CSL (1992) was widely acclaimed. “
