Zsófi Zala is a designer born in 1996 in Budapest, Hungary. She earned her Master’s degree from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, where her thesis focused on Ornamentation and Craftsmanship in Furniture Design. Her work is defined by a commitment to traditional craftsmanship, a meticulous attention to detail, the use of natural materials, and an open, experimental approach.
Zsófi began her independent artistic career in 2019 with the launch of her brand, Harm less, introducing a collection of objects made from plant waste as part of the Kozma Lajos Arts and Crafts Scholarship. In addition to furniture and lighting design, she also creates large-scale installations and teaches design in a primary school setting.
Harm less objects often carry personal narratives — their forms and materials thoughtfully combined to evoke a quiet sense of balance and calm.
