Exploring another configuration…

This variation turns the system vertical, using the 30x30 extruded aluminium profile but mixing 3D-printed hooks with wooden ones.

Which setup should I build?

I’ve now modeled the coat rack in Rhino and put together a quick Vizcom visualization to test proportions, colors, and overall presence on the wall. At this point I can’t really hide it anymore: I’m clearly designing this one for myself for my own maker cave at home… and the competition is just a good excuse haha.😅

That said, I’m very much open to feedback. Especially on the balance between modularity and playfulness, the scale of the hooks, and how expressive they should be versus staying calm in an interior context.

After the first ideation rounds, I made some early 3D-printed prototypes before diving deeper into render visualizations. Testing proportions, attachment logic, and the character of the hooks on real aluminium profiles.

I’m genuinely happy with how these turned out. A bit rough, very early-stage, but already showing the balance I’m aiming for: industrial structure + playful, customizable elements. Also couldn’t resist arranging them into a small, fun composition. ☝🏻😅

Kicking off the year with sketches and a stubborn aluminium profiles obsession… 😅

I’ve started ideating for the Designwanted Rethink Coat Rack competition, and apparently I still can’t get rid of extruded aluminium profiles in 2026 either… 😵 Once #

Early thoughts, early lines, fireplace mood. 🔥
Let’s see where this one goes.

Renders and AI visuals will never replace the experience of a handmade prototype even when it’s far from polished or flawless.

This time I’m recycling some of my failed cork cable organizers and giving them a second life 😅

2025 — Wrapped.
This year was about convergence.

I spent the year intentionally bringing together strands that had previously run in parallel: professional practice, doctoral research, teaching, and the use of AI as a creative and methodological enabler.

Some highlights from the year:
– completing my doctoral candidacy exam
– presenting my work at two conferences (AI & Creativity and Design & Capitalism)
– publishing my first academic study
– closing a three-year research cycle on IKEA hacking and digital manufacturing, which materialised as Uppgradera Collection 04
– launching new self-initiated “love projects” alongside market-ready products
– collaborating with industry partners
– teaching and mentoring thousands of students across platforms and IRL
– and using AI not as a shortcut, but as a way to extend what I can realistically do as a designer-researcher

I also started a new research group at Széchenyi University focusing on AI in Design Education, creating a shared space for experimentation, reflection, and pedagogy.

Some outcomes are already public.
Some of the most exciting developments are still in progress.

Looking ahead to 2026.

This is the second sketch in my new series curating my favourite Hungarian design icons featuring the Felhő (Cloud) lamp family by Opteam.

Designed in 1976 by the Opteam collective, the Felhő lamps are a beautiful example of Hungarian space-age design thinking: light, playful, and highly rational at the same time. Built from interlocking flat hemispheres, the system creates table, floor, and pendant versions with a single, coherent form language…no unnecessary parts, no visual noise.

What I love about Felhő is this balance between poetic appearance and strict design logic. It literally looks like a floating cloud, yet behind it sits a clear modular concept shaped by material economy, manufacturing constraints, and functional clarity.

Fabracers — Expedition 01

I am currently reading the book called With Motorcar to the Sudan (1934) by László Almásy—whose life later inspired The English Patient—this piece recalls early 20th-century automotive expeditions, when cars were instruments of exploration rather than speed.

Fabracers — Monoposto 01

A single-seat form reduced to its essentials.
Extruded aluminium chassis, solid wooden wheels, and minimal cork detailing define this vintage-inspired monoposto.

Fabracers - Roadster 01

A minimal collectible “pine car” built from extruded aluminium profile, cork cockpit and solid birch wheels.

Roadster 01 is not a toy in the traditional sense.
It is a collectible object for makers celebrating modularity, fabrication, and the quiet pleasure of engineered simplicity.

Part of the Fabracers collection.
Designed to roll.

TB to last Sunday…
No rush. Just light, incense, and peace.

Hello,

My name is Adam Miklosi, I am a freelance industrial designer based in Budapest. Having worked on various product developments starting from the concept phase up until mass production, I have gained wide experience in appliance design, branding and packaging design. Besides, I have also created interfaces and unique user experiences for hardware and software products. As a curious thinker, I am a keen researcher of new design thinking methods and I love pushing boundaries by the eventual involvement of users in the product development process.

In the past 7 years I have worked on ~20 projects in 8 countries with 100+ people involved of different professional and cultural backgrounds.

Being also the owner of a hardware startup, I’m quite up-to-date with all the challenges regarding product development, cost optimization and any possible upcoming issues.

If you need someone who turns any idea into a market-ready product aiming for success, please contact me. I gladly get involved as a freelancer but eventually I am also open to join development teams.
