I am Johanna Dezső, a student, born in 2003, Pécs, Hungary.
I have had a deep connection with art since I was a child. Later on I attended The Art High School and Vocational School of Pécs back in 2017, where I studied as a goldsmith for 4 years.
In 10th grade,I got to know the field of Industrial and Product design, and I wanted to deepen my knowl edge. I attended Corvin Art School in September of 2021, where I studied Space and Industrial Design.
I’ve been admitted to the Industrial and Product Design BA class of 2022 at MOME in 2022.
The aim of the project was to choose any natural form and after a long examination process, make a a functional product out of it.
After making study drawings, stylizations and multiple different form variations of my chosen subject, walnuts, I designed a modular outdoor furniture which consists of two parts.
The product - which closely follows current trends - is made from popular materials and can be easily integrated in any public space.

The design of the hexagonal mailbox was in fluenced by the form of beehives and the op tical illusion of Victor Vasarely, which is further enhanced by the light source installed under the plates.
The final product is suitable for the interior of modern apartment buildings and the entrance of family houses.

My target group were elementary school children with poor social conditions surrounding them. For the survey, I visited a village in Southern Baranya, where I talked with families about their harsh living conditions and the difficulties of every day life for them.
The end result of the project is a modular indoor furniture made for this specific group, which isbesides the fact that it is made from cheap materials - also easily portable.
The product would provide a great solution to the lack of privacy for children, and would also function as a bed, learning space and storage unit.
Target group: Children aged 7-14
End result: - “mini” houses - multifunctional - space suitable also as a private space and a place for younger children to play
Problems: -lack of privacy - learning problems -harsh living conditions
Solution: -creating personal space - modular - suitable both for boys and girls

MOME’s entrance exam task was to design an object that would help “Mariann”, a mother of two, spend more quality time with her loved ones.
The partition wall I designed works as both a functional organizer and a decorative element of interior design. The organic shapes and natural materials can easily match the latest interior trends while motivating family members to do the housework.
Main problem: Too much housework - too little free time
- decorative element of interior - proportionate housework between the family members - clean house - more quality time

Average daily distribution of house works in Hungarian households be tween men and women. (2016)
- help with time management - less housework for Mariann - organization of tasks - motivation for other family members
The elements on the space divider send the signals to the user using digital and manual techniques.
With the help of the application, Mariann can manage the system remotely, so the tasks can be completed through the day.

The aim of the associative task was to design a 5 x 5 x 8 meter room, with the given word : arriving.
According to my idea, this place symbolizes both the daily and rare arrivals in our lives. To describe this feeling more precisely, I gave the space a nat ural atmosphere . By designing it calming and na ture-like - using materials such as water, limestone , wood, moss - I wanted to amplify this warm expe rience.
When planning the interior, I paid attention to sev eral exit and entry points, natural light and relaxing colors. This way the people walking in it can feel close to nature and relive their important arrivings looking back in their life.

The aim of the project was to rethink one of the inner gardens of the Baranyai residential complex in district XI. , Budapest.
The most important aspect in my project was to keep the garden easily passable for the residents of the surrounding buildings. I also took into account the location of the existing trees and left the statue in it’s original place.
The pavilion passing through the square decorates it as a water wall - while reusing rainwater - and also functions as a shade.
The intersections of the long paths crossing the yard and the resting place in the middle symbolize s the community of the residents, and is also suitable for organizing programs.
