JULIA NEMA

BRAND NAME: Julia Nema

BRAND DESCRIPTION: Júlia Néma is a fine artist and a porcelain and ceramic designer based in Budapest, Hungary. She has received major national awards such as the Hungarian Design Award (2003) and Ferenczy Noémi Award (2013). Her work is characterized by a unique harmony of fine arts, design and handicrafts. She is the founder of one of Hungary’s leading ceramics studios, the first and only one in the country using a high-temperature wood-fired kiln for the professional creation of artworks and functional ware.

Julia Nema’s artistic credo has been shaped by substantial East-meets-West experiences, creating bridges between Constructivism and Concrete Art, Far Eastern aesthetics, European design, and local pottery traditions.

With her ground-breaking bespoke tableware sets, Julia Nema has renewed the ways of plating and serving in contemporary Hungarian gastronomy. Besides private commissions, her extensive client roster includes the Michelin-starred restaurants SALT Budapest, 42 Restaurant and Babel Budapest (2016–2020), as well as Laurel Budapest, Botaniq Castle of Tura and many more. Julia Nema is the author of a monograph on wood-fired ceramics ("Fired Up High," 2013), a pioneering publication on the subject in Hungarian. Her works, encompassing sculpture, reliefs, everyday objects, paintings, silkscreen prints and photograms, have been widely exhibited in America and throughout Europe and Japan.
