MOME Designer Maker students among the exhibitors of the Ambiente in Frankfurt

Date: 2023.02.20

The Frankfurt Ambiente, one of the largest consumer goods trade fair in Europe, featured items designed by our students in collaboration with ONYX Workshop.

The Ambiente design fair in Frankfurt took place between 3 and 7 February, also debuting the ceramic design students of the MOME Designer Maker MA programme involved in the MOME x ONYX project. MOME and ONYX Műhely’s joint design course was led by art director of the ONYX Creative Community Angéla Góg and ceramist and MOME teacher Edit Kondor DLA, and aimed to help students design contemporary servingware based on Gerbeaud Patisserie’s 164-year-old legacy. The process was aided by pastry chef of the Workshop Zsuzsanna Borsos.

The resulting items explored contemporary dessert culture and the related serving culture. The following 9 exhibited objects also enjoyed great success at the exhibition:

Csenge Anna Berkes – Chocolate serving set
Anna Budaházy – Rigó Jancsi
Melinda Doktor – Brandy cherry chocolates
József Kovács – Dobos cake
Martina Kovács – Diplomat pudding
Dóra Szilágyi – Cream puff
Lea Anna Szolnoki – Zserbó petit four
Ingrid Válint – Esterházy cake
Dorottya Vértessy – Mignon

Starspot research using MOME's data visualisation published in Nature

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.
