HOTLIST / Lucy Upward picks the most inspiring and intriguing textile creations of the moment
"Moment to moment / The textiles of Hungarian creative Móni Kovács are both innovative and visually remarkable. Inspired by her previous metal textiles, the new collection, Moment, features an ombre effect where the metal peters out gradually across the textile length until it is purely cotton. Moment was on show at Maison & Objet Paris."
KOMONKA X MAINSON ET OBJECT PARIS 2020
The Hungarian brands were showcased in Paris via the HFDA, with the international promotion of Hungarian design brands under one, strong, Budapest-focused umbrella brand: Budapest Select. The main aim of the Budapest Select brand is for talented Hungarian designers to gain even more attention during international appearances - through unified communication - while simultaneously also maintaining their own branding attributes. Thanks to the umbrella brand, the designers are able to receive far more intensive and effective exposure opportunities, than if they were to appear alone. Further, the umbrella brand contributes to the continual strengthening of the country's and capital's reputation, making Budapest a sustainable fashion and design hub for the Central European region.

MAKERS OF BUDAPEST X KOMONKA
A subjective guide to Budapest based new craft workshops Makers of Budapest creates a living imprint of our times by drawing a creative map of Budapest. The format of our book borders on illustrated art books and design guides: it is equally informative, aesthetical and functional, and serves as a creative guidebook and an illustrated anthology of art. Beside the designers grouped by field of creative activities, the shops and galleries are also listed where the objects presented in the previous pages are available, other than the designers’ own workshops. To help find those shops and workshops, the relevant spots are displayed on a map.
MY SILVER TEXTILE was published in COVER MAGAZINE' s Hotlist
"The addition of shine
Light and shine' are the two concepts that drive the textile work of the designer Móni Kovács. Her new Metal Textiles collection drives much influence for her previous metal fabric- that featured in in COVER 48- but these metal threads have been produced from corrosion so can be used long-term in interior setting. Using cotton for the warps, Kovács weaves in brass, aluminium or copper, offering three metallic hues for spectacular wall decor"

Budapest Design Week 2018
Feels good to hold, practical, pretty and belong to our daily lives. Shine! Collection is the result of SUSU keramika's (Szaffi Asbóth, Flóra Bodnár) and KOMONKA textile's (Móni Kovács) cooperation. They don't believe in perfect but cheerish the beauty of unique and charming objects, somewhat uneven and stained. The exhibition of aesthetic objects of 'table culture' shall open in the very new spot of SUSU keramika, which is a gallery, shop, studio but above all a beautiful space filled with useful art.
SUSU Showroom/ 1027, Budapest, Frankel Leó út 10.
