In this spectacular exhibition, the Museum of Applied Arts presents artistic interiors conceived by the designers of the 1920s and 1930s, together with furniture created by the applied artists of the period.

In addition to the works of the most influential artists of those times, like Lajos Kozma and Gyula Kaesz, the exhibit features the furniture of such, now all but forgotten, but once very popular, designers as Zsuzsa Kovács, György Fränkel, György Kóródy, Pál Vágó, Károly Nagy, as well as those accessories that make a living space a home, like ornaments, textiles and lighting fittings.

While focusing on the living space, the display also provides an opportunity for a comprehensive overview of this great period of Hungarian applied art, which was earning considerable international recognition.

This colourful display owes its interest as much to popular artists – such as ceramicists István Gádor, Géza Gorka, Mária Ráhmer and Hajnalka Zilzer, glassartist Júlia Báthory, textile artists Éva P. Szabó, István Pekáry and Árpád Vértes, applied graphic artist Kató Lukács – as to the splendid objects and designs of the now lesser known, but very talented artists, or to the publications that had an immense influence on public taste, and the documents of Hungarian design fairs and international exhibitions.
