Designvonal
The biggest challenge today’s artists have to face is keeping pure thought awake, and liberating judgement-free emotions. In the age of technology and media, it is difficult to create a direct relationship between creator and receiver. Designvonal is an art studio, an unconventional experiment of a team of young Hungarian artists. When designing products, practicality is their main focus. If you have a kid, or you feel like one; if you are independent or you depend on fashion; if your life is complete with friends or you’d like to be different every day; if you feel safe when you are alone, or rather with your family being around – here you will find the most practical accessories for your daily life.

pointOne
The new design centre of the Hungarian capital is located at Szabadság tér: instead of a traditional showroom, pointOne is a more complex place with different parts that are either strongly, or loosely connected to each other. The unique environment makes this spot not only stylish, but absolutely outstanding. Walking through pointOne, you will see how it can easily inspire interior designers and architects alike. The idea was to combine the ordinary showroom experience with the great possibilities of a meeting point. PointOne offers a wide range of interior decor items, presenting such brands as Florim, Diesel Living, Cedit, Kaza Concrete, Milliken and many more.
