Contemporary spatial narratives

Space is the shortest distance between people.

We design what people choose, remember, and return to.

Who we are

Eszter Bolgár and Tímea Csitári — founders of freeform.ourcollective interior design studio Budapest Photo: Edit Vass
Tímea

Timi thinks in business outcomes — she has shaped how organisations use space across global office networks. A designer and project manager with a strategist’s eye: clear about what a space must do, who it serves, and what it returns.

Eszter

Eszter has built spaces and she has critiqued them — from large-scale developer projects to hands-on construction management, carrying spaces from concept to completion. As an art historian and critic, she brings the fluency that turns a well-made space into a meaningful one.

Together, we treat space not only as an aesthetic or technical question, but as the integration of business logic, human experience, and cultural meaning.

Our work

What clients say
“We're finding ourselves feeling reluctant to leave because there are endless possibilities for us to enjoy here. From cozy family cuddles, to hosting friends and colleagues, to productive work and study sessions. And the best part? I am only talking about just one room in our amazing new home!”
Homeowner · Home = Retreat
“As a passionate home chef, I wanted a kitchen that allowed me to cook and entertain at the same time. And let me tell you, our interior designers absolutely delivered. The long kitchen island is the perfect centerpiece, giving me plenty of space to chop, stir, season and more. Its thoughtful design lets me stay part of the conversation, even as I whip up delicious meals for my friends.”
Homeowner · Visibility
“From their synergy emerges a series of artworks that, through a pioneering use of artificial intelligence, explore the spheres of the planet — hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and thermosphere — transforming them into incredible surreal and visionary landscapes.”
Tecnografica · Spheres wallpaper collection
“Freeform.ourcollective presents a special concept. The dreamlike installation is based around a wallpaper they created with the help of artificial intelligence in collaboration with artist Dávid Szauder, a unique, genre-creating application of the technology that is so popular today.”

What we do

Most studios start where the drawing begins. We start earlier — and we stay later. Five phases, from the first question to the day the doors open.

The journey reads differently for a home, a business, an event — tap to switch views.
01
Seed
discovery · strategy · financials · feasibility
Is this the right direction to take?
02
Dream
space planning · concept · visualization
Where intent becomes vision.
03
Frame
drawings · tendering · budgeting · procurement
Where the vision becomes buildable.
04
Build
construction & project management · handover
We make sure it’s laid right.
05
Open
styling · art · PR · launch / move-in
The space is built — now it lives.
Beyond space — product design

We don’t only shape spaces — we design the objects that define them.

Concept first, narrative throughout, every detail carrying meaning. We work with manufacturers and brands who want more than a pattern or a shape — who want an object with a point of view.

How to work together

Not every project begins as a project. Some start with a single question, a single room, a hunch worth testing. So there are several ways in — from one conversation to a finished, furnished space — each one complete in itself. The strip on each card shows how much of the five-phase journey it covers.

Think with us

Conversation

One hour, one decision. A single design question that’s been quiet on your mind for months.

For example: a floor plan you’d like a second opinion on before the contractor starts, or a piece of art that won’t land on the wall.

Think with us

Workshop

From question to direction. Together we map the strategy and shape the bones of a concept — you leave with a direction, not a finished design.

For example: a couple deciding whether to reconfigure or extend, or a boutique hotel owner who needs clarity on what the space could deliver to its target audience.

Build with us

Wing

One room, one zone, or one installation — fully designed and overseen. The way to work with us at a smaller scale, or to begin before committing to more.

For example: a kitchen waiting for years, a teenager’s bedroom, a small café fit-out, or a single exhibition stand.

Build with us

Full Project

Concept through material selection, construction drawings, and oversight. We’re by our clients’ side from first sketch to handover.

For example: a whole apartment or house, a boutique hotel floor, or a multi-piece installation.

Build with us

Curation

Art, objects, textiles, and final styling — the curatorial layer that gives a finished space its personality. A standalone engagement, or the closing layer of a project.

For example: a home you’ve just moved into and don’t yet know how to fill, or a hotel lobby that needs collected, considered furnishings.

The Conversation and The Workshop are credited in full toward your project, should you go ahead. Nothing is spent twice.

Common questions

What design services does freeform.ourcollective offer?

We are a multidisciplinary design studio working across four areas: interior design (residential, commercial and hospitality), concept design (installations and exhibitions), product design (furniture, surfaces and objects), and art projects (public art and curation). Regardless of scale, all our projects are rooted in curiosity, sensitivity and drive.

Do you work in Budapest, across Hungary and beyond?

Yes. We are based in Budapest and design for clients throughout Hungary — and internationally as well.

Can you take a project from first idea to completion?

Surely we can, and this is one of our strengths. Our five-phase process runs from Seed (strategy and feasibility) through Dream, Frame and Build to Open (styling and launch). We can join at the very first question and stay through to move-in day. If the context requires, we can step in for a single phase.

Do you design products as well as spaces?

We do. Product design is as much a part of our work as interior design. We design furniture, surfaces and unique objects that are organically connected to spaces and their history.

Our Spheres wallpaper collection, created with media artist Dávid Szauder and manufactured by Tecnografica, won EDIDA Product of the Year 2025 and has been exhibited internationally.

How much does it cost to work with an interior designer?

Every project is scoped individually. You can start as small as a one-hour conversation about a single design question, or commission a full project from concept to handover — and early consultations are credited in full toward your project if you go ahead.

Share your budget range and we’ll be honest about what’s realistic.

Have you won awards or been published?

Our works regularly appear on the domestic and international design scene.

Our Spheres wallpaper collection won EDIDA (Elle Decoration International Design Award) Product of the Year 2025, and our residential work has featured on the cover of Octogon. Our concept and product work has shown at S/ALON Budapest, Milan and Berlin Design Weeks, and Maison & Objet Paris. We have published our co-living research and presented it at design events.
