Hungarian Artisanal Gems at HWS 2024: A Pop-Up Design Market by Hello Piac

Discover Hungarian artisanal treasures at HWS 2024! Hello Piac Budapest presents a pop-up design market featuring 10 unique vendors. From 9:00 to 19:00, explore a diverse range of items ranging from gastronomic to beauty products and jewellery. Here’s a brief introduction to the vendors before you meet them in person:

Fiore Natural

I dreamed up the Fiore Natural brand in 2015, as I had been making natural lotions and soaps for years. Since 2019, I have been officially producing natural cosmetics in my own workshop. I create all kinds of bath products, skincare creams and scented candles from natural ingredients. Innovation is crucial for me, so I am constantly researching and searching. That’s how I discovered “Vino Therapy” which uses wine and grapes both internally and externally. All parts of the grape can be used to make a natural cosmetic, its leaves, seeds, fruit and also the wine. With my limited edition products for the Hungarian Wine Summit event, I would like to introduce guests to the fantastic effects of wine and grapes on our skin.

Parbiart Studio

We are Bianka Parázs and Ádám Balázs, the creators of Parbiart Studio. Our workshop is located in Bakonszeg, a small village of 1000 people in Hungary. Rural life, closeness to nature, delicate soft female bodies, myths and prehistoric motifs are the main source of inspiration for our objects. At PARBIART STUDIO we reinterpret ceramic art inspired by the vibrant spirit of young adults. Our collections combine contemporary design with artisanal craftsmanship, offering a dynamic range of ceramics that resonate with modern lifestyles. From fashionable table pieces to accent decorative pieces, each piece is a fusion of functionality and artistic expression. We pride ourselves on bringing a youthful, eclectic vibe to spaces, offering ceramics that fit your personality and sense of style.

Ammil Design

The beauty of Ammil Design jewellery is the result of nature’s treasures – flowers, mushrooms, leaves and minerals – whose harmonious and unique compositions are preserved in an eco-resin that also contains natural components. The crystal clear resin jewellery looks like plants covered in ice from the sleet, shining in the sun. An old English word for this phenomenon: ammyl.

Yumma Tea

We deal with the distribution of real fibre teas (Camellia sinensis) and tea accessories. The beneficial effects of tea have been known for thousands of years, improving memory, boosting metabolism and benefiting the whole human body. There are many different types of tea. Each region has its own favourite teas. In South Africa, for example, rooibos is a protected designation of origin, and only red tea that comes from South Africa can be called rooibos. Or I could mention Mate tea, which is a South American tea variety that is very high in caffeine, so it’s a great help in improving concentration. I got hooked on tea 8 years ago. Slowly, slowly, as I got to know more and more layers of it, I felt more and more that this kind of health-promoting medium was what I was looking for in today’s hectic world. Tea has taught me many things and continues to teach me many things to this day, which is why I decided that I wanted to pass on the experience I had gained, to share it so that more people could learn about the positive health benefits of real tea, and in doing so, shape their outlook on life as it has changed mine. This is how Yummatea was born, from the positive outlook on life that permeates this world and supports our physical and mental health.
