Magyar falmatricák – pályázati felhívás
Pályázati felhívás
A Hellodesign.hu Magyar falmatricák címen pályázatot hirdet vektorgrafikus falmatricák tervezésére.
A pályázat célja a tehetséges művészek promótálásán túl olyan piacképes, művészeti értékkel bíró termékek létrehozása, melyek hozzájárulnak a kortárs művészet terjesztéséhez, a hazai vizuális kultúra fejlesztéséhez, egyidejűleg érvényesülési és kereseti lehetőséget biztosítva a programban résztvevők számára. A Hellodesign jelen programjában a pályázatoknál megszokott jutalmazási módszer, azaz a dobogós helyezettek alkalmi díjazása helyett, a lehető legtöbb művész folyamatos jövedelemhez való juttatását kívánja megvalósítani, a művészek tehetségét piacképessé és jövedelmezővé tenni.

Út a sikerhez – A Moholy-Nagy László Formatervezési és a Kozma Lajos Iparművészeti ösztöndíjasok 2009. évi beszámoló kiállítása
2010. február 4-én beszámoló kiállítás nyílik a húszéves Moholy-Nagy László Formatervezési és a Kozma Lajos Kézműves Iparművészeti ösztöndíjasok munkáiból az Iparművészeti Múzeumban. A formatervezés, a design kitüntetett szerepet tölt be mindennapjainkban. A tetszetős forma, a párját ritkító műszaki tartalom azonban csak akkor hasznosulhat társadalmi szinten is, ha a felhasználó igényei, a gyártó üzleti érdekei és az alkotó elképzelései egybecsengenek, és a tervek valóban piacképes termékké válnak. Ennek megvalósulásában nyújt komoly segítséget a Moholy-Nagy László Formatervezési Ösztöndíj, amely évente 15 fiatal tehetség pályájának indulását, szakmai kiteljesedését és önálló alkotói munkáját hivatott támogatni.

Williams Studio by gh3
A photographer’s studio over a boathouse on Stony Lake is a re-imagination of the archetypal glass house in a landscape in the Canadian Shield. A continuation of thinking about this architectural ambition, the central concept of the house is reconceived through a contemporary lens of sustainability, program, site and amenity. The compelling qualities of simple, open spaces; interior and exterior unity and material clarity are transformed to enhance the environmental and programmatic performance of the building, creating architecture of both iconic resonance and innovative context–driven design.

Hitech System Headquarter by UAU office
The new directional building has been designed to abstract itself from the common building scheme, rejecting analogies and mimesis, while intended to assume technology and innovation as its essence. The traditional building techniques make room to the use of innovative materials or the different exploitation of the old ones, and, at the same time, to the overcoming of conventional building schemes. Through the opposition between the sculptural concrete shapes and the lightness of the glass and steel structures we have chosen to characterize the internal and external space, pointing out a clear and essential architectural language.
Noon Studio
French duo Gautier Pelegrin and Vincent Taïani joined their forces and created the Noon studio. After their studies in industrial product in France the two designers followed separated careers for a long time until the moment they decided to collaborate and create their own studio. The result of this fusion is a mix of different experiences that allows a new approach to furniture and object design. Different perspectives can be a barrier to productive collaboration but that’s not the case with Noon studio; on the contrary it is an interchange of ideas, an effective way to stimulate creative thinking. The concepts of Noon studio come to confirm the fact that the collaboration of the two designers has only positive effects. A creative relationship that manages to generate new inspirational concepts.
