STRICTLY UNIQUE AND HUNGARIAN! Part 2. - Siberian Eco Shoes and Eco Lamps

Did you know that flat shoes are sexy and they can be bought in Siberia? No, not in Russia, in the Siberia of Budapest. Let me introduce you to Anna Zaboeva  and her world of shoes.

And did you break your favourit mug, or inherited a too worthy porcelain set? Time to turn them into your unique lamps: cut, glue, dream and switch on the light :)

 Discover Hungarian Design Part 2.







We had our last “Séta Van!” free walking tour on 19th December and I told you already about Printa and design terminal. Now it is time to go really shopping :)

Just a few steps away from Printa and the Synagogue, in District VII. Wesselényi Street 19. there is a little shoe shop called Siberia. The owner and designer Anna Zaboeva grew up in Siberia that’s were the name came from. And believe me, the girl has a life story!
She studied textile design in Moscow than she took a cinematic art degree in Novoszibirszk. She had come to Budapest by hitch-hiking and became an editor of an American TV production. Soon she got bored with it (!) so she decided to take up with leather designing at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest (MOME).
She was sewing her shoes in her kitchen when her first orders arrived.

Her own brand “Pleasemachine” is named after her band (!) and her new shop Siberia opened it’s door in October. The items of her new collection were made of old materials that were collected from junk
clearances. She even had a junk delivery from Los Angeles!
I almost forgot her motto which says: Relax, flat shoes are sexier! (Don’t even try to argue with it!)

Eco-design no. 2 (Or I should say re-design!)
Do you have a porcelain pot with a hole on it? Or a broken plastic food container that doesn’t function any more? I know a place where you can lighten-up yourself and your old household stuff. The little workshop and showroom called “M lamp” is located in Dob Street 25., ran by Mária Fatér and Bori Battai. Don’t be afraid, from outside it looks like a workshop but if you enter in you’ll find yourself in a magical and warm place.
