About Us
The Budapest Design Material Library opened in collaboration between the Hungarian Fashion and Design Agency and Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest in October 2021.
Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
Since its foundation 140 years ago, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) has been an ambassador of the fusion of tradition and innovation. MOME has played a definitive role in shaping the design scene in Hungary and is a pivotal institution in Hungarian creative and design culture. The majority of our alumni play a key role in their respective fields, and the university acts as a hub for representatives of the creative industry also on an international scale. Our mission is to find solutions to today’s challenges using the toolset of art and design in collaboration with other fields. MOME’s vision is to become Central Europe’s leading creative industry and innovation workshop by 2030.
The Hungarian Fashion and Design Agency
The Hungarian Fashion and Design Agency was created as a subsidiary of the Hungarian Touristic Agency in 2018 with two major focuses, the fashion industry and the design industry, for the purpose of increasing the international visibility and recognition of the Hungarian fashion and design industry, and thereby boosting the Hungary’s image. Its most important tasks are to expand export, strengthen and improve Hungary’s manufacturing capacity, and build traditional creative and professional knowledge. As an integrative organisation, its main focus is to enable effective professional coordination between Hungarian and international actors in the fashion and design industry, which is essential for long-term success.
