HENIBARA

Founded in 2019 by Henriett Barabás, the brand initially focused on ceramics, later expanding its portfolio to include furniture, home accessories, and installations. Today, the studio specializes in product design, industrial design, and the creation of unique installations. Its works are characterized by geometric forms, frequent use of metal, an industrial aesthetic, and a balance of conceptual and functional qualities.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Henriett Barabás graduated in 2024 with a degree in Product Design from the Moholy Nagy University of Art and Design. Her design approach was shaped in part by her earlier international experiences in the field of visual culture.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECT

WOY armchair (2025)
