MOME alumni among the best designers on the EDIDA shortlist

Elle magazine is organising the third ELLE Decoration International Design Awards Hungary (EDIDA) event to celebrate outstanding Hungarian designers. This year there are many MOME alumni on the shortlist once again, in the ‘Young Designer of the Year’, ‘Product of the Year’, ‘Brand of the Year’ and ‘Sustainable Initiative of the Year’ categories.

Anyone could nominate their favourite designers, brands and projects this year, and a shortlist was created with five nominees in each category by an expert panel – Andrea Szakos, interior designer and winner of last year’s EDIDA ‘Designer of the Year’ award, Dr Judit Horváth, head of the Contemporary Design Collection at the Museum of Applied Arts, and Judit Osvárt, the editor-in-chief of the Elle Decoration magazine. Now it is up to the audience to select the best in each category.  

  

In the ‘Young Designer of the Year’ category, the shortlisted nominees associated with MOME are designers Panna Nóra Fehérvári, Nóra Szilágyi and Zsófia Zala, and ceramicist and product designer József Kovács. In the ‘Product of the Year’ category, the home workout bench by Máté Guthy, Róbert Kristóffy and Nóra Szilágyi, and the Zante wall lamp by Zsófia Zala were nominated – the latter was made in the MOME workshop. In the ‘Brand of the Year’ category, Anna Katalin Lovrity’s Rugs by Anna Katalin and Annabella Hevesi’s Self and Scope were shortlisted. It is remarkable that in the ‘Sustainable Initiative of the Year’ category, all nominees have ties to MOME: Hajnal Gyeviki’s Habitat collection, Ádám Tóth’s Miko lamp collection, the MOKO furniture collection co-designed by Anna Cserba, Shrooly, a smart device for mushroom cultivation by Ádám Miklósi and Ádám Lipécz, and the SymbioMat™ yoga mat by Emese Takács.
