Enikő Horn, designer and owner of the 10 years old ENIHORN brand. She became maker of leather goods in 1992, and much later she graduated in 2009 in BA in fashion design at the faculty of Mod'Art International, a French design and education college in Budapest. In 2013, after graduated in a bag design course in Milan, she launched her first collection of clothes and bags, where clothes were the accessories for the bags. She opened her showroom of the ENIHORN brand in 2014 in Budapest, VI., Izabella Street 45.
In FISE Gallery's 'BŐR x BETŰ - LEATHER x LETTER’ exhibition, Enikő Horn's close relationship with environmental protection and recycling for decades, as well as the printing techniques often used until the beginning of the 2000s, the old Gutenberg’s printing press and the smell of printing ink gave Enikő Horn the inspiration, which is now brought Anikó Székffy and her together at the same exhibition.
Years ago, the designer was given some leather with many defects on the surface, which she could not use it and kept until today. Now, with printing ink and the possibility of poster printing, she re-enchanted the skins, for beautiful, wearable creations. She also experimented with neoprene material left over from tailoring waste. The mood of the green, eosin-effect skins presented at the exhibition alongside the 'pieces with letters' reflects the fact that in today's world we could love again the fragmented, old-looking, worn-out objects dressed in a new design.

Anikó Székffy was born into a family of pringers, illustrators, typographers and graphic designers (literally, all relatives are connected to the profession in some way). As a child, she played with letraset, tracing paper and mechanical pencils, and regularly (to this day) sharpening pencils is one of her favourite activities.
She graduated from Printing-technology School, then studied typography from István Kiss at the College of Applied Arts. After graduation she started to work as an entrepreneur, and in 2010 she founded her own business: Atipo Design, where she has been working as an independent graphic designer ever since. For the last ten years, her clientele has consisted mostly of downtown restaurants, and she is working with them daily as graphic designer. She likes special but also traditional solutions. When she picks up a book or flyer, the first thing she does is to smell the paper :) Her passion is her profession and if you ask her what she does for a living, the answer will be: "I'm just putting letters together."
