Zalán Szakács

The universe of Szakács is based on the ideas, visions and experiments from the 1992 born Transylvanian Design Academy student Zalán Szakács.

During his late teenager years Zalán studied 5 years Textile design at the Higher Technical School for Art & Design in Spengergasse in Vienna, Austria. In this period he discovered that the conceptual design thinking fascinates him and this triggered him to apply at the Design Academy Eindhoven.

Characteristics of his work are combining different creative fields: design, art and media to create interdisciplinary projects. The multicultural environment, where he grew up influences his projects, which are sensitive and poetic in their own way.

Zalán experiments with different materials, techniques, shapes and functions to explore the boarders of the creative fields.

Since 2010 Zalán is a member of the Viennese art and design collective NANOLACK.
