Gyula Bajó

He designed tableware in his spare time before leaving in 1953 to join the architect's office of the Co-operative Wholesale Society.

Bajó sought refuge in England after the Second World War and, with fellow emigrant Endre Hevezi, in 1948 found work as a labourer at the Staffordshire pottery company of Booths and Colcloughs.

The pair worked together, in their spare time, on the design of Bajó Ware, a modern style of tableware inspired by themes from history.

[2] The first Co-op ceramic tile mural, a 2-storey hand painted installation at Guildford, completed in 1956, has been attributed to Bajó.

He afterwards (1956–57) created seven hand-painted panels for the catering department of the Co-op's Stratford administration centre, featuring tableware similar to his earlier work at Booths and Colcloughs.
