The landscape is, on the one hand, the material basis of society\u2019s life, and on the other, the bearer of high visual-aesthetic qualities.\u201d (Mih\u00e1ly M\u0151cs\u00e9nyi)<\/p>\n<p>This duality also permeates Viaplant\u2019s thinking: how can nature be both the basis of life and a source of aesthetic experience? How can a fleeting fragment of a plant become a lasting memory, and how can the structure of the landscape be transformed into abstraction, carrying new layers of meaning?<\/p>\n<p>Viaplant\u2019s journey begins with art: with the inner search where the plant appears as inspiration. Through technology it becomes material, opening new possibilities. And in design it returns to us in the form of objects, preserving the presence of nature in our everyday lives. The origin of the plant holds special significance.<\/p>\n<p>The memory of a place \u2013 a garden, a park, or even a famous rose garden \u2013 is embedded in the objects, making them not only beautiful or functional, but also carriers of stories. A lamp\u2019s light does more than illuminate; it reminds us of the place where its plant came from, and of the moment when life became the shared memory of nature and humanity.<\/p>\n<p>This is why Viaplant expands on Sullivan\u2019s famous dictum:<br \/>\n\u201eForm follows function\u201d<br \/>\n\u201eForm follows function follows emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this way, objects embody not only function and form, but also emotions and stories.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition takes visitors \u201calong the path of plants\u201d: showing how the inner garden becomes artistic intuition, then experimentation and material research, and finally the creation of objects in which the stories of nature and humanity once again find a home.\u00e1l.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\uddd3 Opening: October 2, 2025 | 2:00 PM \ud83c\udf99 Opened by: Dr. Albert Fekete \ud83d\udccd Fert\u0151d-Eszterh\u00e1za, Esterh\u00e1zy Palace, Orangery \ud83d\udcc5 On view: October 2 \u2013 October 19. \u201cThe landscape is nothing other than the contradictory, and therefore dialectical, unity of the interactions between nature and society.
