Fülöp Bechtold won the award for MOME’s Best Designer Maker
Date: 2023.07.19
In 2023, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design relaunched the Best Designer Maker award After a hiatus of several years due to the pandemic, it will once again be awarded based on student works created during the year and prior voting.
This year’s Best Designer Maker went to first year Ceramic Design MA student Fülöp Bechtold for his pendant and decor lamps designed for the Bebi Loungewear store. The main focus of his design process was the encounter between glass and light, attempting to translate the joy and cosiness radiated by Bebi’s streetwear pyjamas into glass.
The objects were created at the MOME glass workshop with support from James Carcass, and his consultant for the project was Péter Borkovics.

A stunning video illustrating the evolution of starspots over time on the surface of red giant XX Trianguli (XX Tri) has been produced by data scientists Ádám Radványi and Viktor Varga of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). Based on 16 years of observations, researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Astronomy Institute of the HUN-REN Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences reconstructed the changes in the cooler regions of the star’s surface, known as starspots. The MOME team translated these findings into an engaging data visualisation animation, making this complex phenomenon accessible to a broader audience.
What therapeutic effect could a beautiful virtual walk through nature or immersive gardening have? This is one of the questions explored by the Zenctuary VR+ project, led by Ágnes Karolina Bakk PhD within the FutureCare Lab at MOME, which has secured nearly 1 million euros in funding through the HU-rizont grant programme of the National Research, Development, and Innovation Office. Developed for healthcare facilities, this virtual natural environment aims to serve both rehabilitative and diagnostic purposes, improving patient care and the quality of life for the elderly, promoting recovery, and reducing the workload of healthcare professionals.
