DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

: About one year ago I wasn't here, where I'm now (at Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design). Back then I didn't know what the design is ( I don't say , that I know that now what it really means and how it works) and it was characteristic of me that I was thinking very complicated and my teacher, Szilárd Fecsó, always said that : Less is always more. I didn't understand what it really means, so when I was admitted to my university (MOME at Hungary) I started to build my design-philosophy and the first thought was that motto, what my teacher said. I started to philosophize about it and I formulated all my thoughts about this motto in this armchair.

DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

DI: What are your future plans for this award winning design?

: I want to find a company what likes this armchair and brings it to the real life. That would be fantastic...

DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?

: About one month. Doing its presentation, that was the most difficult. Doing the presentation was anther one month. So it was 2 months. It was difficult, because first I wanted to do a 3D model about it, but the renders wasn't realistic. So I did a 1:5 scale model about it.
