A fierce soul strengthens it’s weak body once it faces a great aim“. This sentence compiles all the process and effort it put in creating my chair. Thanks to the pressure and the devotion to achieve my ,,great aim“, my approach changed, as did my chair’s structural design and meaning. I became more and more exact, more organised and the designing of my chair was my companion throughout a long period. This is why my product is called Semester.
I used two materials in the process of construction, which are contrasts of one an another in multiple ways. These are the rope, which is elastic and easy to form in any shape and the aluminium, a strong and stiff in the form of a tube. As the rope runs through the aluminium tubes a static, geometric shape manifests. Thus, we get to see as the rope transubstantiates to be part of the metal and back to being a rope.
Besides the elaboration of the whole concept, the chair also withholds constructional and aesthetic qualities such as the function of disassembly and re-assembly, portability and the eye-appealing outlook.
The shape of the nodes and the seat part are formed as determined by the concept and function: the nodes reflect to the whole and the whole reflects to all the parts. This is how the contrasts form unity and harmony.
InterTabak Expo Exhibited: Dortmund, InterTabak Expo 2018. 09. 21. - 24 Client:
I started designing this in July, 2018. The task was to design a stall for exhibitions, which is easy to disassemble and reassemble, and which presents the stylebox products of AdamiStefano. Moreover, I had to give it a look that drags the attention of potential costumers hoping they would make deals with the company.
I decided to let go of my original idea of rollups and building a metal frame covered with plasterboard. The reason for this was that I wanted to create something that represents the company more profoundly. As their products are made out of withstanding and highquality materials, I wanted to put this profile into the stall itself. This way, not only the look of it was more intriguing, but also the materials it was built from.
The idea behind the stall’s concept was floating. This way, the products could be examined from all angles without the interference of display cabinets, providing viewers a better look at the products. While designing the court-room area, I wanted to create something that is separated in order to avoid disturbance, yet inviting for those interested in the offers. All in all, it was a great success, as the products were ordered from more than 10 countries, including the Maldives and Dubai.
DemoWood Camps
Client:
DemoWood is a department of a company named HelloWood dealing with installations, architecture, design and team building workshops. It’s aim is to support those, mostly adolescent, people who are trying to be involved in the world of design.
The first camp I participated in was in Tokaj, where we had to create a stool with Hungarian teenagers from beyond the country borders, with the average age of 16-17. During the introductory part they were asked to say two bad and two good qualities about themselves. This was followed by a collective brainstorming throughout which we came up with ideas, how those qualities can appear in a furniture. The result of the days spend together was 13 creative and individual creation.
Besides the camps with a greater magnitude, I hold 1 day long workshops as well. For example at Capa Youth Centre, we made benches for an exhibition with kids from children’s home. They are always excited and happy when we visit them, and they do handcrafting with intense enthusiasm.
Construction Game -495 Given its shape, the toy prompts the user to build. As there are no given rules, only the creativity of the user influences the outcome. Thanks to the design of the product, the pieces can be attached anywhere, giving a broad field of ways to build something from the simplest, to more complex structures. It can be played with both individually or in a group, developing manual-skills and stereopsis. The suggested age from which it should be used is 3.
The task was to design a constructional toy in 3 weeks as a part of a workshop, through which the user is given the sensation of constructing. We had to work in groups of 4. The toy’s form originates from geometry, the precise 3D modelling and the printing allows the stable attachment of the elements.

Future Bathroom
What? What if i told you, that it is possible to create an organic wall that re-produces it’s own energy? The Living Bathroom is a system that consists of both natural and artificial elements, which make it possible to spare a lot of place and increase the bath experience. There are no constant walls nor furniture, because the walls have the ability to move separately, and construct a temporary, but private place to clean off the daily tiredness. The walls produce their own energy from human waste (e.g. excriment, hair, soapy water), consequently a great part of our home would go zero-waste. This will alter the concept of a bathroom with a pioneering idea, making a daily routine more pleasurable by being given a different aspect. Why?
This is how the sanitaryware grows out of the wall
The basic ideas behind this concept is to make the most out of the little place of residence that is available for us in over-crowded cities and to slow down, and later prevent the endless piling of wasted materials all around the world. Furthermore, in the middle of a city we can hardly get in touch with nature, so binding these three individual problems together makes it much easier to deal with each of them under one roof. I have to mention two additional significant points of view that bore a huge role in designing this facility. First, I only wanted to use already existing technology and materials that are in an experimental period of their development. The other was to help the elderly with a routine they need to complete on a daily basis (e.g. the walls can grow handles). How? In the bathroom we leave behind our excriment, hair and also, soapy water. We might think these are just garbage, but they are actually good fertilizers for the plants, which have lots of advantages. They reduce steam, make the air clean and fill it with oxygen, moreover, they produce electricity. That’s because the special material of the walls comprise electroactive polymers – elements that can move when given electric impact - mixed with plant DNA. The technology called E-Plants can collect and use all the unutilized electrons the roots emit. The EAP allows them to move and take up different forms which serve specific functions. Their DNA is a combination consisting of natural and artificial elements.
Mixed artificial and natural components
Unicef Crystal
The Unicef Christal lamp is a night lamp given to those who, in some manner, supported the organisation. Its initial purpose is to soothe fear of dark in children who are afraid of it, moreover to represent Unicef’s child protection policy and to be gripping to the sight. Its shape was inspired by cave crystals.
The form of the crystals was generated by a program named Grasshopper
1. Paper mockup
Carton mockup
2. Paper mockup
These minerals come to existence after being exposed to a great amount of pressure and because they are rare and deep under the surface, many people ignore or don’t bother about them. Besides, they are extremely valuable, just as those underprivileged children who the organisation is helping. As far as its function is concerned, I decided to create a lamp as the children-crystal parallel is highlighted by the emitted light, while making the product more fascinating.
When it is not lighting charge itself so it is only light in the dark.
