Why five years? Why us? Why famous?
Eszter explains it: “Good plans should not be carried out too quickly, 5 years seems to be just enough. As some of my friends had the same thought, we agreed on making the fiveyearstobefamous team. Since then more friends have joined. Our goal is to create our own brand at the end of the five years (however, we only could buy the domain wearenotfamous.com). All of us are currently enrolled in universities all over the world (ELTE, Milano Polytech, MIT Media Lab, MOME, NYU, RCA) and are highly ambitious.
Our aim is to create a website seeding from the blogposts of our own webpage, it has a potential to become an interesting page to see personal projects in art&tech&design&science. With the team we also reached a consensus that there seems to be a growing need for a unique place in Hungary that targets outstanding students and offers excellent-quality learning possibilities. Therefore, one of our aim is when we all get back to Budapest to establish a school that would provide high level education seeded from our vision.”

Design for Services applied to DIY leisure: our main task was to design solutions that can inspire and help the people to self-organize recreational activities in the green.
The project aims to be implemented by the Nutrire Milano (~Feeding Milan) program which is working for reconnecting the city and the surrounding agricultural areas by effective and innovative solutions.
–> www.nutriremilano.it
During the work, with the help of the farmers of Cascina di Mezzo, we were deeply analysing the context and used different techniques and tools (storytelling, storyboarding and representation tools) to develop our design scenario and than prototyped our idea.
Farm Friends is a great way to meet new people at Casina Di Mezzo in Parco Agricolo di Sud Milano. To participate, people have to join a picnic group on Meetup and participate in fun activities. After attending a couple of pinics, they will become a Farm Friend to host their own picnic and they will be invited to special events of the Cascina. (more…)
Organize your moments in space & time.
Wall space organizer that creates an actual reference in space and allows the user to visualize important locations or moments within a specific townscape. Applicable to any city or geographical point.
Milano is a city full of fashionistas who are constantly trying to express themselves to the public with cutting edge style. Unfortunately it can be quite difficult for a young person to be fashion forward on a budget. CUCI.MI is a space where people can go to develop and customize their own style without the designer price.
CUCI.MI is a retail experience like no other where young fashionista can buy simple basic clothing and sewing accesories and then costmize anything using D.I.Y. equipment all under one roof, where customers can: *shop, *find inspiartion, *create, *communicate, *…relax
The project was made for GDOWEEK’s Think Tank competiton and was selected as a finalist. –> see here

Icons and illustrations for a booklet about the fears and loaths of an online world.
We have talked a lot about the questions of online identity, but somehow we always got stuck at one burning question: how can we decide about information on the web whether is relevant to a certain person?
picture by bujatt
We often search for people on the internet. If we search for a person’s name we will have to choose from hits to find the right website that is relevant to that person It is relatively easy to find a famous person, but it could be a real pain to find someone not that well-known which is true to the majority of the population.
Why do we have to pair the website with the person when we have searched for it? The best person to decide whether a website is relevant to someone or not is obviously the person who is searched for. In an ideal situation it is me who knows the best if any information on the web is about me or not. That is exactly what This is Me! is for.
A person is identified by the personal information (e-mail address, Facebook ID, Open ID). The relevant websites can be validated by approving a website, or by clicking the This is Me! plug-in button on the search engine.

Still a concept.
Stupid robots rule the world!
Above all of them it is the Cat-licker device, and now it is official: it won the Bacarobo Europe 2010 contest.
Magnificient robot builders are: Zoltán Csík-Kovács, Eduárd Sík (supporters: blint & me)

Cat licker (Macskanyalogató robot) from Kitchen Budapest on Vimeo.
It is a microcontroller driven communication tool for plants. It uses an online database to identify the needs of the choosen plant, and collects realtime data like soil and air humidity, light and temperature.
Talking Flower sends us the plant’s needs in short messages through gsm, microblog and e-mail. It has a small screen and a speaker for direct notifications. Connecting to a computer via USB its personality, display and sound can be configured like an avatar.
An earlier version of Talking Flower was presented @ Art’n Science Night, CHB / Berlin

The theme of these boards is “etno-rethink”; the presentation and the reinterpretation of the etno stlye in our present environment. Made for a fashion design competition.
The Poem Bean is a silly little gadget communicating in an oldschool way – with Morse code.
It is blessed with a poetic soul and has an eager thirst for knowledge. Like a tiny new media hero, it carries a modern-day message in a bottle, spreading good-luck and charm to every Bean-holder.
You can store a poem or any personal message in your bean. Push the Bean’s belly so that the LED eye starts blinking the encoded poem or the (secret) message in Morse code.
If you know Morse code, just read out the hidden message. If you are unfamiliar with Morse code, visit the Bean’s website –> http://versbab.kibu.hu/
There you will find a bean-translating application which helps you to decode the Bean easily or to teach it a new poem/message.
participating researchers: Lajos (firmware), Macsek (bean panther), Marci (hardware), Judit (design and graphics)

The classic Poem Bean sticker. (It hides perfectly the apple logo so that all you see is a glorious bean.)

Icons designed for the Talking Flower web application.
These three little guys are personas for the Talking Flower web application. You can suit them up as you wish.
In the beginning of the designing process the talking-flower-concept was a bit different. We wanted to identify the device as a low-tech tool, almost D.I.Y. This is the logo for the initial concept.
Hydroponic plant growing and fish-developing device – Thesis project at BUTE (Budapest University of Technology and Economics)
The goal of my thesis was to design an eco-kitchen product and its surrounding that calls the attention to eco-conscious way of living and consuming, and gives high priority to up to date technical possibilities.
Plantus is a self-supporting system for growing plants, herbs and vegetables using nutrient solutions without soil, caters fish (also consumables) and disposes a separated sprouting unit. As indoor equipment it can be used as a space divider set, as well. Plantus is interactive, communicates with the customer and completes today’s kitchen to make it a real eco-tech part of a 21st century household.
Here is a brief presentation about the main functions of Plantus.

Plantus project is the result of the co-operation of BUTE Industrial Design faculty and Kitchen Budapest with the help of András Szalai, dr. Manuéla Lukács, Márton András Juhász, Melinda Sipos, Péter Grőb and Zoltán Csík-Kovács.
