It’s that time of the year, and Solinfo has once again been feverishly preparing for the Advent period.
We celebrated our 30th birthday this year, and this also gave us the opportunity to review everything that has happened not just to us, but to all designers and artists in the recent period.
The world of design has not come to a halt in 2020 either. The way we worked has changed, and we certainly saw that – at times – things progressed more laboriously and slower. The year has taught us patience and persistence. We needed strength to continue onwards undeterred. We also needed designers to continuously keep creating. In many cases, these people are close personal friends and business partners. We mutually supported and gave strength to one another, and it was always an occasion to celebrate when they came out with a new collection, work of art or an innovative piece. This is why we gathered these up and are now presenting them to you over the course of 24 days, so that others like us, lovers of design, may look ahead to Christmas believing that 2020 was again an extraordinary year.

2020 again saw great and wonderful things created, and the global pandemic will not be the only thing that we’ll remember 2020 for.

A labour of love, we hope you like our selection presenting the most recent works and favourite pieces by designers we hold dear over 24 days.

This is the Solinfo Designer Guide.

“Less is more – I’m not a fan of having too many ideas per square metre.” – Zsolt Karajz

What are you most proud of as far as this year is concerned?

“The production set for the ‘Farm’ television programme. I was forced to work in a style that was wholly unusual for me – I was asked to create a rural, farmer environment, with a farmhouse, stable, livestock pens…”

What is your priority project for next year?

“I’m currently working on two hotel projects, and I believe both will receive great attention once completed.”

Recommendation from Zsolt for this year: MATRA

The design of the panels reflects the distinctive character and aura of MATRA: shaped by the forces of nature, this mystical world projects mysterious power and dominance. The play of light on the mountains never gets repetitive, and the view changes continuously.

The other work I am very proud of is the Copenhagen lounge chair I designed for Moovia, which is in perfect harmony with the MATRA panel.

What represents eternal inspiration for you?

“I spend as much time as possible on the water, I row and sail very frequently. This is what represents eternal rejuvenation for me.”

The choice of Solinfo’s experts: AMAZONAS

Rich, winding, unpredictable – just like the AMAZONAS. The surface of the Amazonas panel evokes a chic and graceful streak flowing down a dry riverbed disrupting monochrome fields.

If  Zsolt Karajz’s MATRA or AMAZONAS MOKO wall panels have captured your imagination, come find it at Solinfo Design Lab.

“Simply put, design has always thrilled and excited us. We believe that we are deeply affected by the objects we surround ourselves with. Christmas is a wonderful occasion to surprise one another with true value.”
Thank you for cooperating and being with us this year, and we wish you happy holidays and a successful new year.
