About
About
Demeter Fogarasi is a Budapest based furniture designer with a design-engineer background, aiming to create concept based furniture through experiments. In all of his work emotions play a very important role, blurring the line between art and functionality, resulting in furniture invoking poetry.
“Design has always been a part of me in some way, yet I have never felt it this close. I like to think of furniture as sort of jewels assigning life to spaces. Each one of them has their own story to tell, in a way they inhabit interiors, where their actual meaning is driven by the spectator. With my work I aim to invoke the curiosity of one's inner child.“
