ABOUT THE DESIGNER
József Kovács, ceramic artist and designer, blends traditional ceramic art with modern technologies. He began exploring ceramics at the Kondor Béla Art School in Kecskemét when I was 14 years old. After graduating from high school, he continued his studies in design in Sopron, followed by gaining professional experience at the International Ceramic Studio and the Herend Porcelain Manufactory. He worked in the industry for a year, after which he embarked on an eight-month bicycle tour to Italy with his partner, experiencing a fantastic journey of self-discovery. Upon returning home, he focused on his own work, developing his skills and ceramic knowledge. Currently, he is a student in the master's program in ceramic design at MOME and a staff member at the MOME TechPark, as well as the founder of the Juszuffceramics brand.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECTS

The project focused on the material research and application of translucent 3D ceramic printing. The goal was to create parameterizable, generative patterns and lighting fixtures that combine traditional ceramic craftsmanship with digital manufacturing technologies. To achieve this, the designer explored various material compositions and printing techniques to enhance light transmission and durability. Open-source 3D printer extruders were used, along with custom-written codes that, instead of traditional horizontal slicing, move along the Z-axis to create complex structures.
The design of the lamps is based on abstract reinterpretations of plants, created using geometric linework. The combination of parametric design and organic shapes results in unique structures that balance functionality and aesthetics. The dynamic interplay of light and shadow creates a distinctive atmosphere in the space, serving both as light sources and spatial works of art.
Sustainability was a key aspect of the process: the designer worked with minimal waste and natural materials. The project represents a dialogue between tradition and innovation, opening up new possibilities for ceramic applications in interior design, lighting technology, and object culture.
