Design studies Shape studies

Project to create abstract statues based on physical motion. My chosen topic was splitting, which is a quick and dynamic motion along a line with a smooth and even shape.

These line-, area- and mass sculptures try to embody the nature of materials pulling apart.

Furniture Design

Evolvens Design stainless steel furniture family My goal was to create unique and modern furnitures based on an already existing table, a lineup of furnitures that fit the company’s design ideas.

I was asked to design a lamp with laser-cut metal pieces and capacitive touch sensor that helps users to turn on/off the lamp and control the brightness with a single touch

Industrial design Cytrax faucet

My goal was to create a faucet with striking and futuristic desig that can be a design piece of the bathroom beyond its core funcionality. I had to face many challanges in the design process, consisiting of solving the problems and questions of cast-in-place design and manufacturing.

Home Office folding workstation

Team member: Márton Berényi Project leader: András Varga

The topic of my six-month project work was a utility item that meets the changed working needs due to the pandemic. I formulated the requirements from the problems that arose:

The opening process and renderings of the furniture in two postitions

These are served by a built-in hub with USB ports, an RGB LED panel with adjustable color and color temperature, as well as a footrest and holes for cable routing and cooling, facilitating desktop computer use.

Collectible Design Volcanic watch & ring

The aim of my project was to create a group of collectible design products, namely a watch and ring that carry the heritage of volcanic formation in their material and atmosphere. The splitting of the display stand’s rock during the carving process inspired the creation of the ring, which is closely related to the watch.

I experimented a lot with different types of stones and minerals before I finally went with granite and basalt. (The display stand is made out of Mount Etna’s marble-stained basalt.)

Collectible Design Volcanic watch & ring

The watch concept itself is made out of cast and CNC-milled epoxy granite, and it is powered by a mechanical ETA movement and is complemented by a handmade buffalo leather strap.

Service design

Patient tracking therapeutic device During our research regarding substance addicion and therapy, we have noticed a couple of things: • Children could only talk to their parents every two weeks; they cannot use their mobile phones (or their use is strictly limited).

• Although parents have fears for their child, there’s no way to express it.

• The lack of education & communication skills by the parents also makes it difficult to communicate with the therapist.

Service design

Patient tracking therapeutic device My vision to tackle these problems is a sensing wristband, that can relieve stress and improve communication, strengthen the sense of belonging together to create a bridge between the child, the parents and the therapist, supplemented by an app that utilises the data to the parents to reassure them by collecting and sending data depending on the condition of the patient.

It is important to note that the application does not give them control over the child, but rather information.

Urban design

Passive cooling wind tower

Wind catchers, also called as barjeels have been an ingenious and sustainable way of cooling homes in the Middle East before the age of electric air-conditioning.

They cought wind streams effectively with chimney-looking towers on top of buildings to direct breezes to their rooms.

This tower is a modern day relative of the old barjeels, utilizing the past’s knowledge and improving it with today’s technology optimized for an urban context.

The roof is designed to collect and reuse rainwater, which helps cooling with mist jets, while solar panels on the top are responsible for the tower’s energy-supply.

My plan is to develop this project with a group of engineers and resize it to a smaller scale to use it in independent apartments.

Thesis project

Mechanical wristwatch concept

6

The goal of my work was to create a uniquely designed mechanical wristwatch using ETA 6497 movement. I used rotating discs instead of traditional hands for better legibility. My other objectives were to “transplant” the vibe and atmosphere of Budapest into a wearable accessory, as well as to create a unique case designed and built fully in-house.

Thesis project

Mechanical wristwatch concept Parallel to the design sketching and CAD modelling, numerous mock-ups and ergonomic tests were made. Finally, I also built a 3D printed, wearable prototype in our workshop.

Magazines Player.hu and The Budapester reported about the project in several articles.
