For Gabor, to create is to search. He strives to design in a way that does not harm his environment. The moment, the given object and its potential are always the leading force. This is also the main philosophy of gobi.design - the brand aims to combine environmental thinking with a love of design. His vision is for everyone to receive the gifts of a healthy environment on an equal footing, which will then lead to sustainable daily living. This task is both a gift and a huge responsibility, but this is the way how change can be achieved.
The objects of gobi.design are part of a natural cycle. Inspired by the trends of upcycling, hygge, wabi-sabi, slow living, degrowth and the like, where the objects do not disappear, they just continue to be shaped by various subtle or harsh forces. He tries to use as much natural materials as possible. He works with them using traditional techniques (eg Yakisugi - Japanese technique of preserving wood with burning). Objects include furniture, accessories and sculptures, but they have one thing in common - each one is salvaged from waste.
