Since launching his own interior decor brand in 2019, Hungarian-born, London-based designer Gergei Erdei has created objects that trace the history of hedonism – from the bacchanals of Ancient Greece to the glitzy bombast of 1970s Hollywood. There are plates decorated with laurel leaves and leopard print tablecloths, vase-like drinking glasses in tropical colours, and cushions decorated with mythological figures and palm trees. Erdei's influences are varied and theatrical, but they always maintain a sense of refinement and a dedication to exceptional, quality craft.
For Erdei, who worked alongside Alessandro Michele at Gucci before launching his own line, the joy of designing is creating objects that "evoke a strong desire in people."
