About Gabor Gobi

Gabor Gobi is a contemporary designer working at the intersection of sculptural furniture and functional art objects.
His practice explores material transformation, reuse, and craftsmanship through collectible design pieces that balance expressive form with everyday function.

Working primarily with reclaimed and raw materials, Gobi’s objects reflect an ongoing dialogue between process, material history, and contemporary design culture. Each piece is conceived as both a usable object and a sculptural presence, intended for collectors, galleries, and thoughtfully curated interiors.

Vision

For me, to create is to search. I strive to design in a way that does not harm my 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. My 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.

Objects

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. I try to use as much natural materials as possible. I work with them using traditional techniques (eg Yakisugi - Japanese technique of preserving wood with burning). Objects include furniture and home accessories, but they have one thing in common - each one is salvaged from waste.
