Mono Art & Design Budapest

Design heaven

Zoltán from Budapest

About me My name is Zoltan (it's a very old and traditional Hungarian name ;) ). I have studied philosophy. Now I work in the marketing business for Hungarian agriculture and study law. In my free time I take photos. I love contrasts in life - harmony is a bit boring for me. I feel itchy when everything is beautiful and pain when I see kitsch and cliche. But I love ...
""Mono Art & Design" is the trendiest gallery and design shop in Budapest! When I'm looking to buy something by young Hungarian designers, I come here."

This shop is a gallery, design shop, downtown concept store and exhibition space and a peculiarity of contemporary design and fine arts. It's the trendiest designer shop.

When I'm looking for something to buy from a young Hungarian designer, I go to this place. You can find books and postcards, jewelry, porcelain, clothes and accessories here. They are fresh, exciting and unique.

The owners, Judit Garam and Ákos Peleskey, want to introduce creators who have recently graduated from school but have already started their artist/business course in "real life". Of course, individual and group exhibitions are not left out either.

Some designers are my friends, and some I hope will become my friends. I have seen some artists who started here and nowadays I can't afford their work anymore. In fact, it's not such a cheap place, but it has great designs. You won’t find these things anywhere else.

And they have shows and happenings and cultural programmes too. So check their Facebook events. ;)

In my free time I take photos. I love contrasts in life - harmony is a bit boring for me. I feel itchy when everything is beautiful and pain when I see kitsch and cliche. But I love personal stories and fantasies and opportunities. I really love my city. I love to eat fine foods and chat with a glass of beer or wine. Why Budapest Budapest is a bit ...
