Sara Kele

Sára Kele is by education an industrial designer, but knowledge acquired at different universities – aesthetics, architecture, cultural anthropology – also affects her complex design approach. Born in Budapest, Hungary, but a wide range of travels around the globe gives deep inspiration for her work, whether it’s the vast horizons of Fuerteventura or the bustling downtown of Barcelona. The home of her most cherished projects is the sarakele studio. Here, she creates exciting, yet simple and timeless furniture, rugs and interiors while keeping sustainability in focus. Sára Kele’s experimental, forward-thinking approach goes beyond the visual, exploring new materials and production methods. Localism is a priority, whenever it’s possible she intertwines traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art, innovative techniques. She urges factories to focus on sustainability, and awareness on environmental- and societal effects of production.
