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

For the first time, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is taking part in the Budapest100 event series, which in 2025 will raise awareness about the importance of urban green spaces, gardens, and parks. MOME’s 15,000-square-metre, revitalised campus garden not only serves as a venue but also plays an active role in the festival with its eco-conscious developments and community activities. Budapest100 is an architectural and cultural festival that celebrates communities and the city, bringing neighbours closer together. From 22–25 May 2025, we’ll be focusing on urban green spaces, courtyards, gardens, and green corridors, along with the communities who nurture them.

In 2025, the Startup Safari took place for the tenth year running, marking it as the largest community event in Hungary's startup ecosystem. Over the course of two days, it brought together 700 participants, featuring 200 sessions across seven venues. One of the most exciting programme offerings was presented at the Zugligeti campus. On the second day of the conference, MOME not only served as the venue but also hosted professional events that introduced participants to the university's forward-thinking projects and groundbreaking collaborations.

What tools does a designer, architect, or media artist use today? How is MOME preparing to meet the technological and professional needs of future generations, and why is it essential for designers to be proficient with 3D printers and laser cutters? This was explored during a presentation at MOME, where participants had the chance to see the latest developments in studios and workshops. Thanks to these innovations, students can learn not only traditional techniques but also master the use of cutting-edge tools and professional filmmaking equipment.
