“Less is more” apartment

The house that contains this apartment was designed by Farkas Molnár, the iconic Bauhaus architect and a student and colleague of Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe. The renovated space also pays tribute to his friend, the brutalist architect Marcel Breuer, whose MG5 chairs are featured in the living room. These chairs also inspired the design of the apartment’s leather lamps.

The goal was not to recreate the original furnishings, but rather to revive the spirit of the original “less is more” philosophy. We aimed to design an interior that Farkas Molnár himself might create if he were alive today.
