True Renaissance from Upcycling design by Zita Nagy, Dr

Hungary

Hungary

Renaissance is not only another definition of Rebirth, the eternal human desire of creating perfection, but an instant return to antiquity. Renaissance investigates and remodels traces of our Past to satisfy our present cravings for materialistic and aesthetic evolution.

The Hungarian Renaissance reached its true grandeur by the end of the 15th century during the reign of Mathias the First, when the unique local craftsmanship culture unfolded at last with the appearance of Italy-inspired but locally produced creations.
A reneszánsz nem csak nevében hordozta az újjászületést, – melynek lényege az ősidőktől bennünk élő vágy az egyre tökéletesebb megteremtésére – hanem a kezdetektől visszanyúlt az antikvitáshoz, a letűnt idők művészeti alkotásokban, tárgyakban fellelhető lenyomataihoz, és azt saját képére alakítva, immár egy tökéletesnek tartott anyagi, esztétikai matériát hozott létre. A magyar reneszánsz a XV század végére érte el igazi pompáját, és az itáliai hatásokkal átitatott, de már honi művészek alkotásai által is gyarapodó kultúra I. Mátyás uralkodása alatt teljesedett ki.

About Zita Nagy, Dr

Dr. Zita Nagy is the owner and team leader of the Hungarian design community Upcycling Factory. We believe in handling a piece of the past, dusting it off and reviving it in a new form. Design is emotion cast in form, it is feeling and tradition; paying homage to the past with a desire for the future whilst living in the moment. It elicits a feeling reminiscent of the past, reminding us to be a child again and play!

We know that all objects we come across once used to be new; whether extravagant or functional, aesthetic or kitsch, elaborate or even simple; each one an individual creation inherited by us: Value that can give rise to new, redefined value! This is our creed.
Dr. Nagy Zita a tulajdonosa és vezetője a magyar design közösségnek, az Upcycling Factorynak. Hisszük, hogy érdemes megérintetni a múlt egy darabkáját, leporolni és új formában életre kelteni. A design formába öntött érzelem, életérzés és hagyomány, tisztelgés a múlt előtt, vágyva a jövő felé, közben megélni a pillanatot. Érzelmet kelteni, a múltról merengeni, újra gyereknek lenni. Játszani! Tudni, hogy minden régi tárgy, amit a kezünkbe veszünk, egyszer új volt, formabontó vagy praktikus, egyszerű vagy bonyolult, esztétikus vagy giccses, de olyan alkotás, ami valamilyen oknál fogva ránk maradt. Érték, amiből új értéket lehet teremteni! Ez a mi hitvallásunk.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
