We have absolutely no intention of either driving you into a frenzy or shoving the holiday spirit down your throat, but there’s less than a week left until Christmas Day. The long-awaited moment of gift-giving is right around the corner, which often tends to be a sizeable stress factor, and also a reason that forces you to roam around crowded malls in a last minute panic. Design Terminal’s Christmas fair, AT Xmas, is both a source of unique Hungarian design gifts and a peaceful island on the stormy seas of Budapest’s gift-gobbling craze. To make things easier on you, we’ve chosen the items dearest to our hearts, check them out!
Kata Mónus – Cutting-Edge Furniture
designed this experimental, one-of-a-kind piece of storage furniture
as her
diploma work . It was made with a
textile designer’s approach , which comes to life by combining a
soft fabric
with
wood , and which results in a product that differentiates itself from the
overworked schemes of furniture design .
Medence Group – Recycled Goodies

backpacks ,
handbags ,
wallets , and
various accessories , all made of
recycled materials . These

and

YKRA Backpacks – Sturdy, Colorful, and Old School
You might feel overwhelmed by the mass majority of bags and backpacks mentioned in our top 5, but neglecting
YKRA’s collection
was certainly a no-go.

Telep

old school backpacks of the 70s , and are guaranteedly long-lasting. The combination of good looks and great quality conjures a high price:

20,000 HUF .
Éva Magyarósi – Hellö, Kids!
The Hellö Collection consists of variedly shaped and sized stools decorated with unique, hand-drawn graphics. These tiny works of art are available in three sizes (to be perfectly precise: 20x20x25, 25x40x25, and 60x40x30 centimeters), and multifunctional pieces serving both as stools and as storage furniture are also sold at Design Terminal.
