The Vienna Park Loft - Design Business Directory

The Vienna Park Loft

Conversion of an attic apartment over three floors, with the main motive to dissolve the existing small parts and create a spacious luxury apartment. The winding rooms were structurally and visually opened and enlarged. From fixed stock and objects such as stair railings, wardrobe and flower troughs, became unique sculptures. The choice of colors and materials is reduced in order to give more space to the language of form and the composition of the objects with and among each other.

Mag. Zsolt Szalai

Zsolt Szalai ist ein Künstler und Designer aus Ungarn. Er verbindet Kunst mit Innenarchitektur und verwandelt Skulpturen in Möbel. Sein Konzept ist es, durch geschickte Material- und Farbwahl reduzierte, aber gleichzeitig einladende Umgebungen und Räume zu schaffen. Reizüberflutung soll vermieden und Umwelteinflüsse ausgeblendet werden. Gleich zu Beginn der Projekte hat Zsolt Szalai meist schon Visionen, was dabei herauskommt und wie genau was gebaut wird. Bereits mit Beginn seiner Karriere, etwa Mitte der 90er Jahre, begann er, Metall/Stahl und Corian im Innenraum zu verwenden und war damit seiner Zeit voraus. Worauf der Künstler sehr stolz ist, ist das große Vertrauen zwischen ihm und seinen Kunden. Trotz großer Konkurrenz durch namhafte Firmen und Designer, die den Kunden zur Verfügung standen, vertrauten sie immer auf sein Urteilsvermögen und seine Vision, und so entstanden bereits einzigartige Projekte. Die meisten Menschen wissen nicht im Voraus, wie sehr unterschiedliche Lebensräume Körper, Geist und Seele beeinflussen. Zsolt Szalai ist u.a. BREEMA® Practitioner (Body-Mind-Connection). Mit diesem Vorwissen versucht er, die bewussten Wünsche und die unbewussten Bedürfnisse der Klienten herauszufiltern, indem er sie gut kennenlernt. Alles sollte auf die betroffenen Personen zugeschnitten sein. Er sieht dies als eine Art Komposition einer Symphonie in einem Orchester und versucht, alle "Instrumente" zu harmonisieren. Eine große Einzigartigkeit ist unter anderem, dass die vom Designer entworfenen Objekte und Skulpturen von ihm und seinem Team geplant und anschließend in den eigenen Werkstätten gefertigt werden.

About DBD

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.

Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.

Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
