Since I was a boy, my interests have always been a kind of dichotomy. I’ve always been drawn to the freedom of creating, drawing and painting, but I’ve also been fascinated by engineering. When I was given Lego, I was never really interested in what I had to build from the contents of the box, but rather how I could combine different new pieces to make my own ideas come true. Before starting high school, I had two paths: architecture or sculpture. I chose architecture, but I didn’t really fulfil my potential. When I first encountered the world of vehicle design, I felt that this was the path I had to take. I found in it an activity that could satisfy my many curiosities. I see design as a kind of bridge, which perhaps stems from my personality. A bridge between man and technology, art and engineering construction, designer and designer. And in this interpretation, it is the designers who build, repair and maintain these bridges. This is the role and approach in which I work and would like to work and create in the future.

Mercedes Project - famous road in 2050

Mercedes - AMG Hovercraft

Brief

Our task was to design a vehicle for 2050. It was important to use some kind of road as inspiration in a free interpretation.

I used the potentially dry Rhine riverbed in 2050 as a possible path in the future, which led me to design a hovercraft.

When stationary, the “skirt” of the airbag retracts, giving the vehicle a more defined stance and making it easier for two passengers to get in

Mercedes Project - New category of Maybach

Mercedes - Maybach Majesty

Brief

Our brief was to design a new class of Maybach luxury vehicle for 2040.

My basic assumption was that by 2040, the limousines and SUVs that make up the majority of luxury cars today will be displaced from the interiors of large cities. For this reason, I expect Mercedes-Maybach to enter the microcar segment. I believe that a small car can be luxury. I designed a self-driving urban car inspired by the design of jewels and gemstones.

KEY SKETCHES

Mercedes ICON project

Mercedes - Rally 2050

Brief

We had to design a concept for 2050, inspired by an iconic Mercedes model from the past.

I imagined a future off-road rally race and designed a single-seater rally car. The idea was based on the Rally version of the Mercedes 450 SLC. The driver is protected by an active protection system, with the joints and the surrounding muscles as the formal analogy.

Mercedes - AMG Fusion

We had to design an AMG model for 2040, in a new category.

My project combines AMG tradition and electrification. I have designed a hybrid sports car that incorporates the last series of internal combustion, handbuilt AMG engines and also features an electric powertrain to meet the requirements of the times. An important feature of the car is its ability to discharge its battery, which weighs a considerable amount, at designated points. In this case, the car could offer a completely different experience, paying homage to the traditional AMG experience on racetracks and in zones and road sections reserved for sports cars. For the design, I combined basic shapes that are dynamic, aggressive and memorable.

2024 spring

In 2040, sports cars with combustion engines will be used in fewer and fewer places. The AMG Fusion, while meeting the demands of electrification, retains the classic AMG experience. It can drop its battery pack at designated points, giving the car a more raw and agile character. This setting can be used on racetracks or in designated sports car zones.

YT Industries x MOME Electric Enduro MTB concept 2035

YT Blaze

Brief

We were tasked with designing an electric enduro bike for 2035 that would fit the YT brand

My concept was based on the idea of placing two smaller batteries in the vertical area between the crank and the seat, creating a new proportioning system compared to the YT electric bikes we have known so far. The batteries are easy to change, and for longer rides, you can take more of them with you. The design of the frame is based on the un. „flame surfacing”, which I combined with functional, technical elements.

MOME x BME Micromobility project

ORMS - Off Road Mobility Stretcher

Our design was based on the realisation that paramedics often approach the injured person on road sections where traditional stretchers are difficult, e.g. narrow rocky streets on dirt roads, etc. We designed a stretcher with electric assistance that can easily handle the more difficult terrain, thus supporting the efficiency of the rescue. Brief

Our task was to explore the field of micromobility, and then to reflect on a relevant problem with a concept for 10 years. We worked with Balázs Orbán, a student at BME, on the design and technical aspects, Mátyás Viszugyel.

Polestar DINAMO concept

Polestar, in collaboration with the Hotwheels brand, launched a competition to design a vehicle concept for the Hotwheels universe, letting go of the fantasy but still using the Polestar design language. My concept was based on the simple realisation that Hot Wheels tracks allow the rear wheel to be reduced to a single wide cylinder, which also uses the principle of dynamo to generate power for the car on downhill sections.
