MOME Design

MOME Design MA student Sebestyén Ócsai is among the recipients of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence for the 2025–26 autumn semester.

The scholarship recognises the university’s most promising student projects each year, supporting works that respond to relevant social, cultural, and technological questions through outstanding professional quality.

Sebestyén received the award for CHYMERA, a premium shared e-bike system that adapts to individual riders through driver-profile-based automatic settings. The concept explores how future urban mobility can become more flexible, more personalised, and easier to maintain through modular design.

Within the system, electronically adjustable seating, pedals, and handlebars automatically adapt to the user, while interchangeable modules allow the bicycle to respond to different daily mobility needs.

The Stefan Lengyel Scholarship, launched by the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, supports selected projects for five months, giving students the opportunity to further develop ideas with strong innovation potential.

Two projects from MOME’s Design MA programme have been featured on Dezeen, one of the world’s leading architecture and design platforms.

🔹 Reflecta Collection – Nóra Szilágyi
Reflecta is a contemporary lamp collection inspired by the legacy of the Hungarian Szarvasi lamps. The project reinterprets the original designs with modular, easy-to-combine elements and flexible lighting solutions designed especially for young, design-conscious users living in smaller apartments.



🔹 Chymera – MOL Bubi 2035 – Sebestyén Ócsai & Uroš Gavrilović
Chymera explores the future of shared urban mobility through a modular e-bike system. With interchangeable components and digitally stored rider profiles, the bike automatically adapts to different users while supporting flexible configurations for city riding, cargo transport, or passengers.

The Madrid Design Festival brings together designers and projects from across Europe to explore contemporary questions in design, culture, and society. This year, the exhibition curated by Gyárfás Oláh from Transylvanian Design Week was invited to Madrid, where it is currently on display at the Romanian Cultural Institute.

Among the projects presented is SUSLI, a metal sledge designed by Vass Krisztina, now a Design MA student. The project was originally developed during her MOME BA studies in collaboration with Rega Metall, following a brief to design a functional object outside the field of furniture.

SUSLI draws on childhood memories of snowy winters and the shared joy of sledging. As snow becomes increasingly rare due to climate change, the sledge has gradually turned into a forgotten object. The project reflects on this environmental and cultural shift while translating nostalgia into a contemporary design language.

The piece combines a sporty, dynamic form with a metal structure designed for multiple users, emphasising the collective experience traditionally associated with sledging.
The project was first presented in spring 2025 at Transylvanian Design Week in Miercurea Ciuc, Krisztina’s hometown.

Visitors can now see SUSLI at the Madrid Design Festival until March 8.

MOME students and their designs have travelled to Eindhoven to exhibit at the 25th Dutch Design Week.

Each year, MOME Design students have the opportunity to apply for the Best of Forma selection, which highlights the most creative, thoughtful, and innovative projects from Design MA @ BA. The selected works represent MOME’s design excellence and give students the chance to showcase their ideas internationally, including this year, at DDW, the largest design event in Northern Europe, celebrating experimentation, innovation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration
