This was 2020: interview with Eszter Radnóczy

How was this year for este’r partners, what were the goals and the keywords in 2020?

Despite the difficulties, we have had a successful year. This year we celebrated the 15th anniversary of este’r partners which we still managed to celebrate together with our clients and partners before the restrictions. On this occasion, we looked back on our 15 years of continuous development in profile, size and quality of the work and the increase in the number of colleagues. Our results and successes are due to a serious and loyal teamwork, thanks to my colleagues. The above is proven by our returning and expanding clientele, we are proud to maintain an honest, confidential and creative relationship with them. When I think of keywords for 2020, the followings come to my mind: adaptation, teamwork and a positive vision.

How did you adapt to this year’s new situation and what were the lessons learned?

We were doing our best at home office as well. It has been proven that our greatest strength is working together, reinforcing and supporting each other, making optimal use of and assigning individual abilities. I am very proud that we did not stop for a moment. After a deep breath, we moved forward with our tasks with new ideas and constructive solutions.

What were the most significant projects this year?

We have reached the final phase of a large hotel project, the Emerald Residence, which we have also professionally supported in the construction. Another hotel project on Andrássy Avenue is also being implemented, in which we are also effectively participating. Unfortunately, hotel projects will have to wait due to the uncertain situation, but we hope to resume the started investments next year. We are pleased that we have had many clients from the private sector as well, a lot of beautiful work has been done in this area too and a lot is in the completion phase.

You have started a new direction: in 2020 the este’r partners presented the selections called The Collection. What kind of knowledge, creativity, innovation did you put in these catalogues?

The final phase of our work has always been to support our customers in the furnishing of apartments and restaurants while, in addition to the planning, we ensure the procurement of products which is based on our wide foreign supplier base. Our own selection, The Collection, is a demonstration of this knowledge and activity. Our customers know our complex service, the aim of the new catalogue was to make our company more widely known.

What do you expect the most next year, where is the company heading?

We are going to relax by starting to plan new projects from the beginning of January, we are really looking forward to spring. We hope that this dynamic is not going to change and all of our partners can stay enthusiastic and optimistic. Of course, we always have Plan B while we work on Plan A, but this detail should remain a surprise for the new year.

Finally, a more personal question: how do you spend the holidays this year?

In peace and quiet with the family, finally taking a little rest, which always means coming up with new ideas.

Bemutatta 2021-es kollekcióját az este’r partners: az olasz design legütősebb darabjai a nappalinkba költözhetnek

Meghitt, otthonos tér, ahol minden a kényelemről szól? Vagány, látványos találkozóhely, ahol különleges élmény vendégül látni a barátokat? Radnóczy Eszter vezető tervező és az este'r partners Cosy Living néven mutatta be legújabb, 2021-es kollekcióját, amelynek fókuszában ezúttal a nappali áll. Kényelmes ülőbútorok, különleges kiegészítők és puha párnák: az erős kereskedelmi szállal működő szentendrei belsőépítész iroda csapata elhozza az olasz design legjavát, amellyel a legelegánsabb nappali is biztos kézzel újrahangolható.

Radnóczy Eszter és tizenöt éve működő belsőépítész stúdiója tavaly Milánóban nyitott társirodát az elismert olasz építésszel, Stefano Napolitani-val. Az olasz partnerkapcsolatok, a kiállítások és a vásárok, illetve az manufaktúrák személyes látogatása régóta része az este’r partners mindennapjainak: ügyfeleiknek és megrendelőiknek így első kézből tudják megmutatni az olasz design újdonságait és nívós megoldásait.

A mostani, magas minőséget képviselő katalógusban az egyediséget, a hosszú távon is élvezhető, high class lakberendezési megoldásokat és a magas szintű esztétikumot állították a középpontba, megfűszerezve az este'r partnersnél ismert jókedvvel, bátorsággal és egyedi stílussal. Az őszi esték elmaradhatatlan főszereplője az olasz mozi, a nagybetűs Cinema Paradiso - a kollekció részeit a tervezőcsapat ezúttal klasszikusok filmcímeihez hangolta. Fellini, Tornatore, Pasolini vagy Bertolucci művei tökéletesen passzolnak egy-egy hűvös estéhez, amelyet otthon töltünk.

A kollekció részei elnevezésüket olasz filmekről kapták: az Especially on Sunday, az Everybody’s Fine, a La Dolce Vita és az Unknown Woman hűséges társaink lehetnek a hűvös estékre. Az este’r partners az ünnepekhez közeledve két minikollekciót is bemutatott: a Winter Lights gyönyörű lámpákkal hozza el a tél fényeit, a Little Surprises pedig olyan különleges designtárgyakat gyűjt egy csokorba, amelyek tökéletes ajándékötletek lehetnek.

A kollekciók online megtekinthetők az este’r partners weboldalán: esterpartners.com

“We started building with passion” – este’r partners interior design studio is fifteen years old

Eszter Radnóczy, who celebrates the fifteenth birthday of este’r partners with her team, gave an interview at Minute Lounge & Bar, the newest cocktail bar on Andrássy Avenue. Este’r partners has become known for interior design work on projects in the Hungarian architectural and creative sector, such as the Emerald Residence on Szervita Square, Agroverzum in Martonvásár, the Zwack Visitors’ Center, Good Spirit Whiskey Bar, Hotel Moments Budapest, the Feller Adrienne Store, the Bar Garden Bistro, the Italian restaurant La Fabbrica as well as the interior designs of many clients’ private homes and villas, and the two high-quality Andrássy Avenue hotels, the A3 and the A52.

“I started building my company out of passion and it hasn’t changed since then. What’s different is that now I’m working with an international team of twenty-five people, which gives me creative space and provides a solid background.” says Eszter Radnóczy who recently opened an office in Milan with her Italian partner, Waves Project Ltd., lead by Stefano Napolitani, a recognized professional in the Italian real estate industry. The architectural and interior design concept of their first joint international project, the so-called “riverfront villa”, will debut this spring.

“Esther’s approach to economics, her awareness, transparency, traceability and strict budget control are the key pillars that make a company stable,” says Réka Harkay-Farkas, financial manager of este’r partners. “In the fifteen-year history of the company, it has always been our priority to be reliable partners alongside creative ideas and uniqueness – this is essential in working with our clients, who are happy to choose us over and over again.”

The year of 2019 was a great success for este’r partners: the interior design plans for Andrássy Avenue 3 and 52 were introduced to the public, and there was also great interest in the interior design concept of Emerald Residence, a luxury investment in Budapest. At the end of the year, the Minute Bar & Lounge opened, where besides the challenges of the different functions (breakfast bar, bistro, cocktail bar), Eszter and her team were able to create an international atmosphere with the creative use of blue, green and gold colors and with the special lighting and coverings; the project was also noticed by the English-language press. The opening of the office in Milan was rather a return to home, as Eszter Radnóczy, a graduate of the University of Milan, has an Italian network of relationships, which in most cases, besides professional values, is characterized by personal trust.

“Obviously, working on grandiose hotel developments is a prestige and a challenge, and we are delighted that our work has shaped the spaces of many hotels and restaurants in Budapest. However, the design of private residences, homes and villas is just as important and we do not want to neglect this area, in fact, we consciously put these kinds of projects in our portfolio,” says the manager of este’r partners.

Eszter also revealed that she would soon show her international knowledge and solid commercial background of fifteen years of experience in a construction not yet seen on the Hungarian market. And the slogans can be familiar for the clients: partnership, combination of high quality and wonderful atmosphere, and of course the indispensable Italian espresso and prosecco.

“Actions must be made to increase the importance of environmental values” Solongo Bayar on sustainable architecture

In July we visited Solar Decathlon 2019 in Szentendre, an exhibition on sustainable architecture in practice. This was a lovely opportunity to chat to Solongo Bayar, our colleague with Mongolian roots, on similarities and differences between the ways we see the same topic, also, to share her unique knowledge on architecture and design.

Solongo, how do you see sustainability and eco-consciousness in your home, Mongolia?

Mongolia is home to one of the world’s last surviving nomadic cultures, and these nomads still live in traditional ways of housing – ghers. However, Mongolians are increasingly abandoning the traditional nomadic way of life and moving into urban areas.. Consequently, Mongolia faces a number of serious environmental problems including severe air pollution in Ulaanbaatar, mismanagement of water supplies and water pollution, land degradation and desertification. It is important that Mongolia takes the necessary steps to solving these environmental issues as part of its economic development.

  1. What differences do you see in the Hungarian and Mongolian attitude towards this topic?

The Mongolian climate consists of long cold winters, short summers and low annual precipitation. Temperatures can fall to -40°C in winter and reach 40°C in summer. Recent increases in urban migration are partly due to poor weather conditions. However many of these migrants cannot afford to live in apartments or houses, and remain in “semi-nomadic” conditions and live in traditional “gers” (ger = yurt. The traditional housing in Mongolia) on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. These dwellings are not connected to utilities such as water and heating, and many residents use pit latrines.

Now I am studing Master of architecture. Studying here made me realize that  actions must be made to increase the importance of environmental values in both countries of Mongolia and Hungary and environmental  knowledge  must  be  strengthening. More comprehensive environmental education programs and PR campaigns are required to increase the  knowledge  base  of  customers.  The  more people  know  about  the  most  important environmental  issues,  the  more  probable  that  their behaviour  will  be  more environmentally conscious.  Events like Solar Decathlon are essential in rising eco-awareness through an international competition that challenges university teams to design and build houses powered exclusively by the renewable energy sources and promotes of architectural solutions related to solar energy, renewable energies and innovative technologies.

Which was the most interesting solution you saw at Solar Decathlon?

Solar Decathlon was a new experience for me. I am very happy that I got a chance to see this worldwide sustainable buildings in this competition. It was really inspiring me to see each houses have their own different ideas and innovative solutions. I have found the most interesting was the house that proved that the building can be constructed by using eco-friendly materials from natural and recycled materials and also can be recycled.

  1. Is there anything you saw there that you wish to include in your future creative work?

There was so many ideas and solutions that most buildings can use in their future projects. For me, I have noticed that although all houses have their own unique system and design, all of it have the same idea of simplicity and nature friendly designed interiors using eco materials. So in my future projects I would like to develop works by using more natural materials and more greenery design by applying more plants and trees. I would definitely go after PCM Green wall system that allowing people to enjoy nature and also functions as an air precooling.

“Even with the biggest workload, we end the day with a smile because we love what we do.” Eszter Radnóczy and Stefano Napolitani on their joint business

As it has already been announced, este’r partners opens its first partner office in Milan in close partnership with Italian architecture agency Waves Project Ltd lead by Stefano Napolitani. Connected to the professional circle of Italian interior design, Eszter and her team already feel at home in this new area. We asked Eszter and Stefano in a short interview to answer a few questions on working together.

Eszter, Stefano – when was the idea of a common office born?

E: For a long time I have been looking for a joint, reliable and transparent cooperation with a business partner in Milan. For me, it is important that partners are on the same page.

S: Yes! As soon as I met Eszter, we found many interest in common and a similar way of life.

Stefano, would you tell us what kind of studio Waves Project is?

We are a team expert in the real estate business. Our company search good opportunity for investiment and follow the client from the first beginning (Architecture Concept and Business Plan) to the end.

What are the principles that connect you professionally?

E: We both love our profession, just like me, Stefano is always available. Even with the biggest workload, we end the day with a smile because we love what we do. We don’t overdo things, we’re trying to find pragmatically but creatively the right solution.

S: Give the best to our clients and love to research new ideas.

What does this mean in practice?

E: We contact on a daily basis, on the phone or via emails and if it’s necessary we have the flexibility to meet personally. We are working on joint projects and it was great to see that our Hungarian clients also think that they can profit from this cooperation.

S: In our world, we do not have any language or others barriers both teams works and helps each other in the easiest way. We have projects in Italy and at the same time in the Cayman Islands, and also in Hungary.

Are you planning a common project or it’s going to be a good neighborly relation?

E: It’s by no means a good neighborly relationship, but a strategy to build a strong base in both countries that will be able to meet any international challenge.

S: Yes we have few projects also in Budapest, where we are responsible for architecture and Eszter and her team for  interior design. We are perfectly complementary.

Milan is the center of design. Where is your offices within this, locally and mentally?

E: It is located in the quiet, elegant neighborhood of Milan in a very typical, ancient building in via via Telesio 18.

S: Milan is not a big town and you” breath” design, fashion, food, everywhere. Our Studio is in a old street, in an old building, because what we like to insert in our project is possible and we love the historical background feeling.

Eszter and her team are really active in terms of traveling, seeing the world and being open to discovering new things while maintaining a stable taste and value system. Stefano, how is it at your studio?

We have been traveling for business and pleasure to many places, where things are really different and at these places it is always easy to learn something new.

In Hungary, the most important decisions are born in the kitchen – what about the Italians? 

E: Stefano will surely agree with me if I say that a private client will certainly dream up a plan at the table. While we are working hard on our projects, decisions are mostly made on the blueprint and on the screen.

In Italy it is usually not in the kitchen, but rather the dinner room – but it is true.

Eszter likes her coffee strong, without sugar and with skim milk. What about you, Stefano?

It depends who is makes that coffee. Usually black but sometimes i am horrible and I have to add a spoon of sugar…

Este’r partners is ready for the international opening

The team of este’r partners visited Milan last week. This will be the city where, besides Budapest, Eszter Radnóczy opens her first partner office. As Eszter said, there wasn’t an actual question of how the successful Hungarian company would develop, in many ways, they are already connected to the professional circle of Italian interior design, especially to Milan.

Este’r partners is a real Italian-Hungarian company, not only because of the number of espressos they drank, but also because most of their colleagues have an Italian experience in their studies or in their professional career – for example, Eszter Radnóczy was a student at the Corvinus University in Budapest but also studied at IDI Interior Design Institute and at MBF Bocconi University in Milan. In their portfolio, besides several Italian projects, you can also tell that in their professional decisions, they are undoubtedly choosing the solutions provided by the Italian market and their close relationship with Italy has a big impact on their style. As part of their professional commitment they regularly visit Italy’s design week, markets and shows during the company’s business trips.

Eszter and her colleagues say that there’s one thing that motivates every link to Italy: the personal and professional relationships always inspiring them to return again. Este’r partners established a secure and extensive network of contacts in Italy over the years, which has now led their way towards the opening of an Italian office.

  

In our first photo you can see Eszter Radnóczy and our Italian partner Stefano Napolitani, the leader of the Waves-Project. New perspectives open up!
