Organic inspiration drives textile patterns.

This sketch includes samples of the textile patterns, which are typical of a culture that uses organic plant material as a springboard for pattern design.

Sleepover parties are not just for kids in Europe.

The wooden box in this sketch is a table that has two pullout drawers. The smaller one is for storage, and the larger one with the vertical panel is a pullout bed for guests. This design is for friends that want to stay over, like a trundle bed but with a headboard. We don’t tolerate drunk driving in America, but the Hungarians, like the Romanians, take it to a whole other level. They have a zero-tolerance system. The penalties are so severe that if you have even a glass or two of wine with dinner and get caught driving, you could end up with very expensive fines and a revoked driver’s license. Sleepovers are a logical alternative. From the sustainability side, this is about saving space and sustaining life of the drivers and the potential victims of accidents.
