allure. MOME 140 - transformers installation
This semester’s design course’s main theme was MOME 140 - transformers. After research of our university’s history. I had my thesis: MOME has been reacting organism-like to the direct and indirect changes. I wanted to show this progress in my installation, so I started searching for materials which can be animated somehow – this is how I found the interaction of the magnet and the iron-dust. The iron-filing symbolizes the essence of the university, the magnet (and Its field) represents the time, and the impulses influencing this university. It’s important that the magnets must stay unseen because we can’t see time – just it’s effects. In Allure. direct planning and suddenness are equally shown. supervidos: Pál Koós, Péter Vető, Péter Wunderlich renderings by: Jázmin Zsurbej

VEDOOT skill developing children game
During the six-week design class, we had to create a simple, easy-to-produce game for the Nevetnikék Foundation. My teammate and I aimed to find a solution that develops children’s spatial and visual logic. Our inspiration was LEGO, dominoes, and various DIY tactile games. Vedoot is a 20-item wooden game with positive and negative surfaces that can be used as both building blocks and dominos. The uniqueness of Vedoot lies in the positive and negative pairs of formal opposites. In this set, small and large circle and rhombus shapes appear. For example, on the other side of a positive large rhombus is small circle-shaped hole.

Vedoot can be used as building blocks
or as dominos.
It can be played with others as well.
GINI cage for guinea pigs
During this six week long course we had to design a living space for small pets. I chose guinea pigs as the topic because they have enough special needs, for example: keeping them in pairs, the need for a lot of space, and the love of climbing and hiding. I placed these properties in focus on my design. The first version already corresponded to the required floor space, but the availability for expanding the levels was an important aspect in the development. GINI 2.0 has changed in proportions in the first place: the diameter of the bars has become wider, while the mainboard and frame have become thicker. Here the height of the wall is uniform and the material is translucent - and this is where the flat accessories sit on.

Finding the inspirations To create the form I was inspired by oriental rice fields because I liked the geometric yet organic characteristics of them. Most of the guinea pig owners are children or families with children, so this also was an important determining factor for me, because I would have liked the final design to resemble building blocks.
Creating the model The life-size model was made of lasercut Finnish wood panels, 3D printed PLA and aluminium rods. Because Finnish wood panels are rarely used at MOME I had to figure out for myself how I could bend them to size. This was the most exciting challenge for me during the building of the model.

WINELANDER collectible wine glasses & coasters
During the semester I researched the Hungarian wine culture and the consumption habits of young adults within the topic of local gastronomy. Winelander is a collectible souvenir that encourages the interested tourists to get to know the rich wine regions of Hungary, while set the basis for quality wine consumption. At the top of the oak coasters is a scaleddown copy of the main growing area of the wine region, while at the bottom is the logo of the local winery selling the Winelander products, and the name of the wine region and the growing area. When it ‘s turned upside down the glass creates the effect of a snow globe-like ornament.

ReNova speculative design funeral service
During the semester we designed an alternative funeral service for Hungary affected by the climate disaster. According to our concept, because of soil infertility by 2050 human composting - or “compono” burial - will become required by law. However, for many the new method is not familiar enough. ReNova provides an opportunity for an intimate farewell. During the ceremony, the mourners use the Remembrance Capsules to draw a handful of soil from the resulting compost, thus preserving a piece of the deceased’s memory for eternity. With the ReNova Code at the top of the capsules, you can visit your loved ones in the Digital Memory Library.

A handful of soil has always had a symbolistic meaning in farewell.
Here instead of throwing in the soil the mourners are taking it out.
Bioplastics biodegradable plastic experiments
During the Working with bio course, we processed Margaret Dunne’s Bioplastic Cookbook from which we cooked bioplastics, and at the end of the semester we experimented with our own composites, kombucha and mycelium. In the future I would like to continue experimenting with coffee grounds based biopolymers and other alternative materials. supervisor: Ferenc Kovács Nagy photos by: Péter Oszkai, Abigél Jancsics Kun, Jázmin Zsurbej
