In Circulation

Reflections of Contemporary Designers on the Collection of the Museum of Applied Arts
The In Circulation exhibition series was launched by the Contemporary Design Department of the Museum of Applied Arts.

During the period of the reconstruction of the museum’s main building on Üllői út [Road], it is especially important that we keep the pieces of the collection in circulation. In the framework of our series entitled In Circulation, we have invited contemporary designers, once they have become acquainted with the museum’s internationally unparalleled rich collection, to select an object or ensemble of objects that inspires their own work, and to create something of their own design that reflects upon it. The design object(s) born from the inspiration of the museum’s collection will also become a part of the collection, which will also provide the opportunity for further relations and exhibitions.

The film presenting the design as thought process is at least as important as the exhibition objects, as it offers the viewer a glimpse behind the wings.

The series was launched in 2018 with the exhibition of Artista Studio, in the framework of which the museum’s collection was enriched with three unique Artista outfits and their matching accessories.

The second exhibitor of the series is Polish designer, Maria Jeglińska, who took as her source of inspiration an armchair designed by Sándor Mikó in 1969. The armchair was a piece of the furnishings of the You + Me espresso bar.

Maria Jeglińska

Maria Jeglińska was born in Fontainebleau (France) in 1983. In 2010 she established her Office for Design & Research in London. She graduated from ECAL’s (Lausanne, CH) industrial design course in 2007, and was awarded a scholarship from the IKEA Foundation, that led her to work for Galerie kreo in Paris, Konstantin Grcic in Munich, and Alexander Taylor in London.

She works on a wide range of commissions: industrial design projects, exhibition design, as well as research-based projects. She is convinced that in today’s world, research can trigger and generate new forms of possibilities and solutions.

Her work is regularly exhibited internationally, and was shown at: the Villa Noailles, Aram Gallery, Barbican Art Gallery, Centre Pompidou Metz, and the Milan Triennial.
