Where Vintage Charm meets Modern Aesthetic

Hungarian retro

The aesthetic of Hungarian socialist realism from the 1950s and 1960s is characterized by a unique blend of vintage charm and mid-century modern influences.

During this period, Hungary experienced a cultural and artistic shift that is reflected in various aspects of design, fashion, and lifestyle. My aim is to bring these works into a new perspective, drawing upon my experience in graphic design and illustration. The form and aesthetics some of my recent jewelry collections are primarily inspired by this period. I aim to approach and interpret this exciting and beloved era from various perspectives.

This creative process also influences my object-making, creating a seamless and harmonious fusion of the past and present.
