Design is not about so-called perfect objects,
but, it is rather an opinion, awareness, communication, story-telling and philosophy.

MDES group
MDES designers were the creator of the first design conference and exhibition,
"INCIDENCE AND IMPERFECTION"
in the New Design Centre Budapest.
The project began immediately after the Hungarian Bus Company vacated the property, requiring us to transform the entire building for the conference in a matter of days. The process was intensely fast-paced, resembling an intensive, community-driven pop-up project powered entirely by volunteer work.
In addition, BGD Studio created the interior design concept for the New Design Center as a diploma project earlier, capturing the elegant 1950s aesthetic of the venue. For this reason, organizing the conference in this specific space was a deeply rewarding and heartwarming endeavor.
Apart from this conference, MDES group organized and took part in numerous events, lectures, and exhibitions, including storefront and container displays.
MDES Members: Bence Buczkó, Ildiko Buzogany, Zsolt Csizmadia, Rozália Demény, Marton Elek, Mate Elek, Zsanett Hegedus, Anna Horváth, Géza Kerti, József Martinkó, Éva Medgyes, Ákos Mauer Klimes, György László Pálfi, Erika Pekli, Zsolt Pyka, Iván Simon, Edit Szabó, Marcell Szentpéteri, Barbara Szöllösi, Peter Uveges, József Zalavári, Tibor Zalavári, Gyöngyi Bokor.
Co-founders: Zsolt Csizmadia, Tibor Zalavári, Gyöngyi Bokor
This initiative is the result of a deeply personal, ongoing research project spanning over two decades. Rejecting the notion of design as a static, finished product, I approach it as an open system, an evolving canvas that actively invites public participation. By shifting from autonomous authorship to co-creation, the project transforms users into active participants, blurring the line between designer and audience to create adaptive, living objects.
