Mihály Munkácsy Award-winning product designer and former senior lecturer László Nádas passed away
Date: 2022.11.10
László Nádas was a prominent figure of Hungarian industrial product design, designing hand tools, electric appliances, vehicles, everyday use items, kitchen utensils, as well as toys for children and grownups alike.
“It would be difficult to draw the lines of my work. There is one crucial point, however, where everything comes together. The end all and be all of all my works is DRAWING. Drawing is the first capture of thoughts and all concepts, and one that others can see too. It’s a document and a narrative in one.”
