Zsolt Kamaras is a designer who spends his time illustrating issues within his own profession. The illustrations take place in objects reflecting on function, scale, production and use of environment. These issues are often misinterpreted by designers therefore the things they create only pretend to fulfill their original functions and rather gain higher values on art’s side. In Zsolt’s works the pretentious uselessness of art molds together with design’s usefulness under the current popular design theme of sustainability.
