Artwork Description

The “ben-ben” hat was created as part of the exhibition series In Circulation, launched by the Contemporary Design Department in 2018. According to the concept, the invited designer will select an object or ensemble of objects from the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts, and will create a new design as inspired by the object(s). The third designer we invited for the series is Valéria Fazekas, milliner living in Budapest. Upon receiving the invitation from the museum, the designer selected an ornamental vessel from the Zsolnay Factory and another from the Drasche Factory.It was primarily the double outline of the Drasche vessel that captivated the designer, as both the outer and inner contours are traced definitively. It inspired the genesis of such “vase within the vase” transparent hat, which can be turned into each other, and due to the transparency of the material, a smaller hat can appear within a larger one.

Valéria Fazekas: Weaver of Tradition and Contemporary Flair

Valéria Fazekas is a Hungarian artist and artisan-maker whose distinctive style blends the rich heritage of Hungarian millinery traditions with a modern sensibility. Born in Hungary, Fazekas’s artistic journey began with formal studies at the Hungarian Academy of Crafts and Design (graduated in 1987), establishing a foundation for her lifelong dedication to handcrafted artistry.

Her work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to utilizing traditional techniques alongside innovative materials and designs.
