Thanks to the collaboration between the Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency and the Public Collection Centre of the Hungarian National Museum \u2013 Museum of Applied Arts, an exhibition showcasing the work of one of Hungary\u2019s most significant product designers, S\u00e1ndor Borz Kov\u00e1ts, is on view for the first time in Hungary, embedded within the 360DBP exhibition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1940, S\u00e1ndor Borz Kov\u00e1ts lived only 33 years, yet he became a defining product designer of his generation. He was an assistant lecturer at the Budapest College of Applied Arts at the same time as Ern\u0151 Rubik, the inventor of the Rubik\u2019s Cube, whom he greatly influenced, as he did many others. He was among the first in Hungary to represent system-level design. Borz Kov\u00e1ts designed, developed, and realised objects suitable for standardised production \u2013 at a time when the country lacked the industrial infrastructure, resources, and market necessary for such endeavours. He built the first catamaran on Lake Balaton, designed a music school and a university campus, boutiques in rural Hungary in the 1960s, as well as tubular and fibreglass furniture, modular lamp collections, and even falconry bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First presented at the Design Museum Brussels, the exhibition within the exhibition displayed Borz Kov\u00e1ts\u2019s works alongside contemporary design pieces and formal counterparts from the museum\u2019s plastics collection. Besides the works of S\u00e1ndor Borz Kov\u00e1ts, the domestic exhibition also features a model and video materials created by students of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. The exhibition\u2019s curator, Dr Judit Horv\u00e1th, museologist and head of the Contemporary Design Collection Department at the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest, guides visitors through the selection in a series of exclusive curator-led tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
