The Story
The Esztány trademark design is inspired from traditional local flared skirts.
Pleated skirts open up with the swirl of dance, they unfold and extend to fully display their beauty. Much the same way, István Esztány designed practical and adaptable, yet stylish bags using this structure: the bags are flat when at rest, and they grow in size to accommodate their content.
The Appreciation
Hungarian Design Award – Student category
The modern spin-off on the traditional design was very well received, and the Committee’s evaluation was flattering: “These articles are the result of a design process reinterpreting original folk motifs. They are a flagship for excellence based on their technological and functional traits (extensible pleated shape, combination of alternative materials). As a positive aspect, they can be manufactured using recycled materials.”
Hg.hu Design Award, 2011
The “Flared Bag” collection received the finalist award at the Design Award organised by Hg.hu.
