BORN IN BUDAPEST AND NOW BASED IN LONDON, GERGEI ERDEI IS AN ARTIST AND DESIGNER  WHO DRAWS FROM A RICH LIBRARY OF MYTHOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL REFERENCES. HE REINTERPRETS THE PAST TO CREATE AN EVOCATIVE UNIVERSE THAT OFFERS VIEWERS A SENSE OF ESCAPE.

HIS ARTWORKS SKILLFULLY JUXTAPOSE MIXED MEDIA AND  DETAILS INSPIRED BY THE IMPERFECTIONS FOUND IN WEATHERED FRESCOES AND SURFACES MARKED BY TIME - A FASCINATION HE DEVELOPED DURING HIS TIME IN ROME. THROUGH HIS DESIGNS, ERDEI SEEKS TO SUPPORT AND HIGHLIGHT SMALL  MANUFACTORIES WITH SPECIAL KNOW HOW, HELPING TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTY OF HANDMADE PRODUCTION AND ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP.

BEFORE ESTABLISHING HIS INDEPENDENT DESIGN STUDIO, ERDEI DESIGNED WOMENSWEAR AND CREATED EMBROIDERY ARTWORKS FOR GUCCI, WHERE HE WORKED AS PART OF ALESSANDRO MICHELE’S RENOWNED DESIGN TEAM.
