Istvan Szugyiczky (Budapest, Hungary)

"I always try to include some 'sacrality', or sacredness, in my work, as I believe that design doesn’t have to be only about shapes, colours and decoration. I've never felt that 'design' is something very different from 'art'. If I wanted to dramatically simplify the formula, I could say that the 'artist' confronts the problem, whereas the 'designer' moves along with it."
