Dear Human, We’d like to tell you the story of @ihannae 1. Beautifully preserved old ceiling of an apartment in the Buda side of the city 2. Hungarian-themed tablescape with @bbbbbbummmmmm and @saltbakery_budapest for our very dear Australian friends’ pre-wedding gathering 3. Frankfurter and Debreziner sausages in an old-fashioned café/bar in the Buda side 4. Kinga with giga keys to an old house in the Balaton Uplands, the northern shore of Hungary’s biggest lake 5. Adolf Fényes: Kugler pastries (detail), ca. 1907. 6. Giant cottage cheese dumpling for my 30th birthday 7. Showcase in a private Bauhaus Villa: 4 Chaise Lounge by Cassina, originally designed in 1928 by the trio Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanerret + Lajos Kozma’s cactus stand, courtesy of the Museum of Applied Art, Budapest. 8. Szabolcs Bozó’s playful figures, contemplated by a little guy 9. Traditional Hungarian pickles - fermented cucumbers, in the making 10. Misu, enjoying he-time on his sofa. Can’t be bothered.

Thanks @pulse_archdesign @evakozarova for having me 🤎 This year’s PULSE, held in Ostrava, Czechia, followed the theme of Critical Cooperation, exploring collaboration in contemporary architecture, design and business. Situated in Multifunkční aula Gong, the centerpiece of modern industrial Ostrava, it hosted a programme of talks across two stages, as well as exhibitions and workshops, bringing together industry professionals from across Central Europe. My highlights of the second day: @okolo_architecture ‘s keynote on migrating architects of the 20th century @gehlpeople Maria Gal Tkacova’s presentation titled “If you don’t count people, you’re designing blind” @mo_lass_es ’s introduction to the @snohetta world and their way of thinking and working - so inspiring! @kubasnopek ’s presenation on how a clear narrative can define and guide entire projects @sandrakumorowski ‘s, Petra Javurkova’s and Alijca Waszkiewicz-Raviv‘s take on co-authored cities and collaborative creative placemaking - especially appreciated Sandra’s reference to Rodin’s view of cathedrals as representations of nations, and the comparison to our cities today Truly inspiring!

Such an honour to have curated this year’s Budapest Select exhibition, under the aegis of @creativehungary at Milan Design Week 2026. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing the exhibition to life, to the artists and designers who contributed their works to the exhibition, and to all of you who came to see the show in person / followed the events online.
 Patterns of Being is a curatorial project that explores the role of humans in shaping the world through the intersections of design and art. The exhibition presents the reflections of contemporary Hungarian creators across five thematic sections, responding sensitively to cultural, social, ecological, and material‑ and form‑related challenges. The selected artists and designers offer works that not only hold aesthetic value but also carry intellectual depth: exploring the possibilities of material use, the memory embedded in form, cultural heritage, the reinterpretation of craft and industrial traditions, the relationship between humans and nature, and questions of ethical responsibility. The central material of the spatial design (by @vu.architects ) is reed (Phragmites australis), an archetypal element of Hungarian material culture and architecture. Found in the wetlands around Lake Balaton and across the Great Hungarian Plain, this naturally renewable material has been used for centuries in roofing, structural elements, and everyday objects, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between people and the landscape.

The open call for curators announced in connection with this year's Milan Design Week was won by curator, art and creative consultant Hanna Imre. In her entry, @ihannae focused on narrative thinking, the issue of personal sustainability, and the social context of contemporary design. You can read an interview with her on our website, in which she talks about her curatorial approach and the international Budapest Select appearance in April. . . . Az idei milánói designhét kapcsán kiírt nyílt kurátori pályázatot Imre Hanna kurátor, művészeti és kreatív tanácsadó nyerte. Pályaművében a narratív gondolkodást, a személyes fenntarthatóság kérdését és a kortárs design társadalmi összefüggéseit állította középpontba. Weboldalunkon elolvasható a vele készült interjú, amelyben kurátori szemléletéről és az áprilisi Budapest Select nemzetközi megjelenésről is szó esik.
