Hajnalka Gólya

Kingston School of Art

I am a passionate Industrial and Product Designer with a strong interest in furniture design, sustainability, and user-centered solutions. I hold a BA in Design from Széchenyi István University (Győr, Hungary), and I am currently continuing my studies at Kingston University London, specializing in Furniture Design within the Industrial and Product Design MA program. My design approach goes beyond aesthetics. I believe in creating functional, long-lasting, and meaningful objects that improve everyday life. In my recent projects, I have explored modular children's furniture that adapts to different growth stages, as well as interactive design solutions that promote learning, posture, and sensory development. During my studies, I also gained international experience in Sustainable Design through a mobility program in Portugal, which expanded my creative mindset and strengthened my ability to thrive in multicultural and collaborative environments. I aspire to become a designer who crafts honest, intelligent, and sustainable products. Furniture that tells a story, respects the environment, and enhances people’s lives.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
