Light is a childish, playful creature: airy, natural and free. The light of stars spreads in the universe with the same ease and freedom. It extends to infinity without any effort or obstacles. There is a kind of unbelievable silence in light. One observing this unbelievable deep silence formed by light may be struck by the same silence like the soul of a child playing and listening. This ease, this silence and this entirety that is so natural for a child, is beauty itself. Observing the silence of light one can experience this beauty. Read the rest of this entry »
About the Google Lunar X Prize and Puli Space Technologies
The goal of the competition called Google Lunar X Prize is to give inspiration for developing new technologies on the field of space research. The grand prize will be won by the team – financed by private equity – which can first accomplish the given criteria that is to send a spacecraft to the Moon until 2014. 26 out of 33 participants are still in the competition in the project also known as Moon 2.0. One of them is the Hungarian Puli Space Technologies.
Puli Space Technologies came to the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design to organize a 5-day-workshop to design a Lunar Rover.

The finals of the Bosch design competition have been broadcast on the Heureka show at DunaTV hungarian channel. Our design called Molnárka have won the competition. The program is in Hungarian, but you can download the video with english subtitle from here.
When we decided to use the cardboard as raw material, it was very important for us that the objects we design cannot be only paper-made copies of existing objects. We was searching for that paper-like form which is or which could be typical for this material. This form should be able to give something – also functional and emotional – which can only be added by using paper. Read the rest of this entry »
In my opinion, before making eco-consciousness the basic principle of our approach to designing, it is important to analyze an almost cliché tending question: do we have to design objects to be eco-conscious at all? Of what extent does our need to “eco” originate from our resistance to change, passing and to our replacement? It is commonly known that if we don’t change the present structure of industry and economy in reasonable time we will disappear from Earth dragging lots of other species with ourselves. However, the question arises: why do we judge this to be absolutely negative? Read the rest of this entry »
We make lots of complex operations in the kithcen which sequences must be very precisely coordinated in a fairly dangerous environment – hot oven, sizzling frying pan etc. In such a complicated ambience like the kitchen we need simple tools and usability. Hence when I designed the removable handles my aim was that the instruments must be as simple as possible but not simpler. Read the rest of this entry »
