Women's accessories - 'salvador' hat,

The "salvador" hat was created as part of the exhibition series In Circulation, launched by the Contemporary Design Department in 2018. According to the concept, the invited designer will select an object or ensemble of objects from the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts, and will create a new design as inspired by the object(s). The third designer we invited for the series is Valéria Fazekas, milliner living in Budapest. Upon receiving the invitation from the museum, the designer selected an ornamental vessel from the Zsolnay Factory and another from the Drasche Factory.
In the case of the "salvador" hat, the two spherical forms of the Zsolnay vessel are placed one above the other; thus, the same reflection from below also occurs from above, from various angles and viewpoint. The piece is extremely playful: it is as if the head wearing the hat were to be vertically doubled by way of the upper element.
