LEGENDARY INTERVIEW

Design Legends ("DL") had the distinct honour to interview legendary designer Maform ("Maform") for their original perspective and innovative approach to design as well as their creative lifestyle, we are very pleased to share our interview with our distinguished readers.

DL: Could you please tell us a bit about your design background and education?

Maform : Maform was founded in 2010 by two freshly graduated designers, Geza Csire and Peter Molnar. We believe in a future where we are surrounded by thoughtful objects, and solutions that incorporate high level scientific and engineering solutions, seamlessly integrated into our lives. Maform designers are artists, engineers and science lovers in one.

DL: What motivates you to design in general, why did you become a designer?

Maform : Imperfections and annoying solutions drive us. These things inspire us to do it better. The most annoying solutions are the ones that answer on instantaneous challenges with unnecessary or wasteful use of resources.

DL: What do you design, what type of designs do you wish to design more of?

Maform : We focus on IoT, Life Science and Transportation projects. We like to work on high-value-added products. The greatest and most fruitful challenge, for us, is to design solutions that bring high level engineering and scientific breakthroughs to our everyday life.

DL: What should young designers do to become a design legend like you?

Maform : Work hard and never give up. You should never forget what drives you and you should never lose your faith.

DL: What makes a good design a really good design, how do you evaluate good design?

Maform : We believe, good design has to be helpful and thoughtful. It has to give answers to meaningful problems. If something is unnecessary or unhelpful, than it's bad design. The shape should reflect the inner values, and functionality should be self explanatory.

DL: What is the value of good design? Why should everyone invest in good design?

Maform : When talking about investments, good design offers higher economic value. It also makes people happier – this is hard to measure, but it's good to know.

DL: What would you design and who would you design for if you had the time?

Maform : We would redesign everything, if we had the time and the opportunity to realise such an ambitious project.
