Balázs Kiss

Balázs Kiss has been involved in design for 2.5 years, and he is currently studying design at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. He has been fascinated by the way things work since childhood and has disassembled and reassembled countless remote controls and children’s toys. In the last few years, he has become intrigued why our world looks the way it does. Then he realised how much thought and development has led humanity to where it is today. That’s how he came to this career: he felt that here he could both create freely and be a useful part of building the future.

Over the years, Balázs Kiss has participated in numerous projects, developing and refining his skills in the field of industrial design. His work is characterized by a harmony of functionality and aesthetics. One of his basic principles is that design should not only be beautiful but also useful. With each piece, he strives to add value to everyday life. He wants his work to reflect his commitment to contemporary design and to make his objects both functional and aesthetic, contributing to the quality of everyday life.

Sustainability is important to the designer and he strives to use recycled and eco-friendly materials, both in the final products and in the prototyping process. He is constantly researching new trends and technologies to stay abreast of future possibilities.

His products are mainly aimed at people aged 25-65, who like an urban lifestyle, who care about their home and are keen to spend money on unique, one-of-a-kind furniture. His target audience demands high quality and unique design that makes their homes special, and it sets its own expectations along these lines. He focuses primarily on the Hungarian market, but plans to show his creations internationally in the near future.

Description of creation

Apex candle holder

Balázs Kiss has focused on the creation of the form in his candle holder project. He was guided by the expression of sharp contrast in the changes of direction of the truncated cones. The zigzag shape gives the object a very comfortable ergonomics. Balázs Kiss’s work was partly inspired by the spatial sculptures of Antal Kelle.
