Two works by este’r partners nominated for BigSEE design award: Minute Lounge & Bar and Martonvásár Agroverzum are among the best in Europe

Two este’r partners projects have won the Winner category of the Slovenian-based BigSEE Interior Design Award, which presents hundreds of architectural and interior design projects from nineteen countries. Minute Lounge & Bar on Andrássy Avenue and Martonvásár Agroverzum are among the best interior design works of 2020: now the studio can compete for the Grand Prix.

“We are proud that our works have been included in the BigSEE selection and we are able to show international audiences the two special locations of Budapest and Martonvásár,” says Eszter Radnóczy, chief designer of este’r partners. An international presence has always been an important aspect of este’r partners: in addition to our partnerships, our extensive professional and supplier background from Europe, our design team also works every day so that our projects can compete anywhere in the world, representing professional value and uniqueness.”

Two completely different works by este’r partners have now been included in the international selection of the design award. The castle garden of Martonvásár was expanded last year with a interesting, modern visitor’s center: here in the Agroverzum, created next to the cultural heritage of the Brunszvik family, este’r partners designed an attractive, user-friendly, design-sensitive interior for children and young people. The visitor center is a perfect place for gaining knowledge, having museum pedagogy classes or learning. Creative interior design solutions such as huge popcorn hanging from the ceiling or wheat transformed into a design element helped to make science entertaining.

 

The Minute Lounge & Bar on Andrássy Avenue is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and elegant space where dark blue and forest green upholstery, glossy eco-leather surfaces, huge mirrors and special chandeliers all exude elegance and clarity. The Minute Bar serves breakfast to the guests of Hotel Moments, during the day it functions as a bistro while in the evening it becomes one of the city’s favorite cocktail bars. Keeping the large, curved windows of the impressive street front façade from Andrassy Avenue draws the eye to the interior of the building. Light-toned wood panels rising to the ceiling emphasize the high ceilings, green metallic eco-leather, three-dimensional wall hangings bring playfulness to the spacious space. The metropolitan atmosphere of the bar adds freshness to the classic Andrássy Avenue environment.

Grand Prix winners will soon be announced in the BigSEE competition, projects in the Winner category were invited to the design week in October in Ljubljana.

The life of a work of art: an introductory conversation with Eszter Radnóczy interior designer

A new series called the life of a work of art is launched by the interior designer este’r partners, in which they are planning to talk about the perspectives of interior design and design in connection with the aspect of galleries, art institutions and collectors.

In the first conversation of the series, Eszter Radnóczy, the owner and chief designer of the interior design office, este’r partners in Szentendre, talks about her attachment to works of art, the meeting of function and aesthetics, and also reveals who she will talk to in the next part of the series.

We’re starting a new series in which art has a key role. Can you tell us about your relationship to work of art, art and galleries?

Art has been a part of my life since I was a child: my grandmother and I visited the city’s museums and studios almost every week. This is still my passion both in Budapest and worldwide. In addition, of course, I am very fortunate that my everyday life is also surrounded by works of art, as our office is also home to an exhibition.

Este’r partners’ office is surrounded by family heritage. Tell us about it.

The exhibition preserves the legacy and oeuvre of my husband’s grandfather, the painter Béla Apáti Abkarovics from Szentendre. Not only does this provide a beautiful work environment, but it often serves as an inspiration for my colleagues and myself.

Is it a burden or an encouragement to be among such pieces at work?

Definitely a pleasure. The age and technique of the pictures is diverse, which is very inspiring.

How do you think the work of art and the interior relate to each other? What controls?

The first determining factor is the given space and its function. If it is not a museum space, then the space controls everything. This is followed by the interior design work, which includes not only the functional placement of the objects, but also the appropriate placement of artefacts. Interior design is not just about “dressing up something” but also “undressing it”: it can also be important to clean up the space, depending on what we want to highlight in a room. A space that works both functionally and aesthetically often cannot hold more than one or two highlights. The highlight can be a work of art or anything else, but it should be chosen very well.

You also work with artefacts during your projects, how does this process look like?

Basically, it is not the artwork that determines our interior design work, but it’s always an integral part of the end result. In some cases, however, an artefact of intangible value determines the design, which is also a nice and exciting process.

Have you had a project where you had to design specifically around a work of art?

Yes, of course. The main consideration in the design of galleries is the optimal placement of (changing) works of art. In addition, we have designed many personal spaces where the work of art and its experience were the main factors.

What can readers expect in this new series? Who are you going to invite for a talk and what exciting issues are you going to discuss?

The series will be particularly interesting from a professional, private and collector’s point of view.  The interplay of different perspectives can provide important insights into how placing an artefact brings out its true value, impact, and role. I cannot reveal the list of our conversation partners in the series, but next time I’ll talk to Ani Molnár!

“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.
