INTERIOR DESIGN
My work is based on the idea that good design is timeless and serves the purpose of being fresh and surprising, but also practical. Inspiration is drawn from myriad sources, both past and present, and all projects feature a broad range of bespoke pieces. Creating a cosy space with close attention to detail while using second hand, vintage and upcycled materials have great importance to me. With an environmentally conscious approach, I deliver the best possible options to my clients based on their interest, lifestyle and personality.

Creating the concept of the apartment on Radnoti Street proved to be an exciting challenge all the way through the interior design process. The owner's extensive art collection and maximalism all proved to be such grateful circumstances that were not only a source of continuous inspiration but also a starting point for interesting conversations. The mid-century modern style is the common language we spoke from the beginning. I knew that every piece in this space has significance and can only be included for a good reason. It was important to maintain an airy feeling and choose delicately designed furniture, which is always of prime importance in my work. The works of art were only placed in their final place during the furnishing process, so the colour tones had to be able to adapt to the collection in each room. The accessories already offered an excellent opportunity to coordinate the colours and a harmonious yet eclectic home was born, where I could move into at any time. Pieces were selected from the region and several Hungarian designers' works were primarily included such as the solid wood bed made by ReBirth Furniture, or the VUUV Works Lloyd bedside table, which we used as a side table in the hall. The bright blue geometric lamps in the kitchen were made by Lampalu.

All the high windows of this first-floor apartment in this II. district villa building overlooks trees. The incoming light paints the walls in a slightly cold tones, so I experimented with warm shades and ethereal hues of sky blue leaning towards purple. The classic, old-style features are reinforced by pepita floors, renovated wooden parquet and the original window frames. I smuggled back the stucco and rosettes that had disappeared over the years and embraced the use of natural materials, which lend a kind of agelessness to the otherwise modern spaces. Every room in the apartment has several functions: the transfer window between the kitchen and the living room turns the kitchen into a cool bar in the evening, while the projector in the living room turns into a cinema room with a hidden screen. The guest room operates as a home-office most of the time, and the bedroom absorbs the huge wardrobe, which remains almost unnoticed in the colour of the surrounding wall. Most of the furniture in the apartment was sourced sustainably, purchased in second-hand condition, and underwent renovation to occupy its final place in the apartment as good as new. Most of the decoration comes from flea markets or is a family heirloom, while the lighting fixtures are professionally renovated vintage pieces. The flowerpot lamp hanging in the kitchen also preserves the memory of the old days, but it's colour and age belong to the 21st century, creating a connection with other modern accessories.

An apartment located in a Bauhaus building, which also overlooks Szent István Park, deserves respect. Especially when it comes to a property that has preserved memories for several generations. During the interior design process, I paid special attention to those pieces that have emotional value. This is how an extension was placed on the leg of the dining table, which was shortened in the 60s, or the portrait of the great-grandfather, who proudly looks at the now modern interior, which has been developing since the third generation. In terms of colours, the panorama served as inspiration, in which deep blues, willow greens and earthy tones dominate. But we didn't forget about the contrasts and the Bauhaus style, which is visible in the furnishing of every room. Modern glass objects, mid-century prints and silhouettes are mixed in the spirit of eclecticism, with accentuated coluor blocks. The goal was to create a living space that feels like an instant home, with lots of cosy details. Several local lighting fixtures, a reading corner and the hidden TV also tempt you to relax and direct your eyes towards the panorama.

As part of a very personal project, I designed the current space by overseeing the entire apartment renovation, breaking it down to the basics. The small kitchen became a bedroom, the hall turned into a huge, bright kitchen, which creates an island between the dining room and the living room space. Throughout the entire apartment, the emphasis is on red copper details, which echo in the visible pipes, fittings and windows as well. The classic, white walls provide an excellent background for the eclectic accessories. Thanks to the large windows, the main role is given to the garden's greenery and the street, which can be seen from every room of the apartment. Natural materials like wood, linen and rice paper further soften the mid-century modern interior. The numerous, bespoke furniture absorbs the chaos of everyday life and leaves room for recharge.

One of my early assignments was the re-imagining of the furnishing of an apartment in Pasarét, which still had items from previous generations, but also the individual tastes of the new resident. The goal was to create a colourful, modern, practical home by keeping the most important heirloom pieces. The colours are strengthened by the natural light present in each room and the use of often complementary shades. The owner's taste in music and fashion choices provided most of the inspiration, so the final concept unfolded from this, which uses the features of modernism and eclecticism, building on classical elements and creating a contrast with them. An important aspect was reuse, rationalization of costs and the design of living quarters adapted to the way of life, which gave the rooms a new, often dual, function. There was a work corner in the bedroom, a breakfast table in the kitchen, and the storage room became a wardrobe.
