Tête-à-tête
An artistic touch. A talk with modern metalsmith EVAANNA.
Tête-à-tête is a series where we invite extraordinary and inspiring creatives for an intimate conversation. We peek behind the curtains of their studios and delve into their creative process to uncover the stories that shape their art.
Eva Anna
Gulacsi is the metalsmith behind EVAANNA, a studio crafting functional art objects from bronze and brass.
From a young age, she was drawn not only to art itself, but to the profound act of creation – making something from nothing and leaving a tangible mark on the world.
Evolving on from her career as an architect, EVAANNA is inspired by Budapest’s enduring beauty and the cities rich history of craftsmanship. Eva revives traditional metal-smithing techniques in her work, ensuring its continued relevance in contemporary design.
Each hand forged handle, knob, and hook becomes a unique moment captured in metal, a quiet alchemy that transforms the simple act of opening a door into a quiet and meaningful experience.
__
Can you share a bit about your early experiences with art and what sparked your interest in object art?
I loved creating things from a young age, it wasn’t about art, but about making something from scratch that wouldn’t exist without me. That’s why I became an architect, I found it amazing that we can create buildings that live longer than us human beings. I just didn’t know that most buildings we design don’t get built, and even those that do, take years. So I was searching for a plan B, I wanted to work with my hands instead of a computer, and I was also looking for a profession that is more compatible with motherhood.
How has living and working in Budapest shaped your artistic perspective and the themes you explore in your work?
Budapest's unique blend of history, culture and architecture clearly had an impact on me. The city's enduring beauty and resilience have inspired me to create objects that are not only visually appealing but also meaningful and long-lasting.
We had many talented metalsmiths in the 20th century who created remarkable objects for the home. Unfortunately, many contemporary metalsmiths have shifted their focus towards jewellery, the ones that make objects mostly do restorations or replicas of old pieces. Through my work, I aim to revive the tradition of creating functional metal objects. I believe it's crucial to preserve these traditional metalsmithing techniques and demonstrate their relevance in contemporary design.
What are some of the themes or messages you aim to convey through your work? How do you create objects to represent these ideas?
I think we should surround ourselves with objects that evoke emotions. Most people choose decorations for this purpose, but what if our most basic, our most ordinary items can do that too? We should take a look at our hardware differently because these are the things we touch every single day in our home, making it a powerful medium for emotional connection. We touch them and they touch us.
"We should take a look at our hardware differently because these are the things we touch every single day in our home, making it a powerful medium for emotional connection. We touch them and they touch us."
How have traditional metal smithing techniques influenced your design aesthetic and the overall feel of your pieces? What specific techniques do you find particularly challenging or rewarding?
My objects are made by a method called sand casting, which dates back thousands of years. It is a technique where you place your sample piece in sand to create a mould, then after removing it the molten metal is poured into the mould cavity. I find it fascinating that the grains of sand and the pour ripples are visible in the finished pieces. These unpredictable details add unique character to my objects, it’s a testament to the human touch that sets my work apart from mass-produced alternatives.
Are there any specific artists or movements that have significantly influenced your work? How have these influences shaped your approach?
I noticed that my approach has changed over the years. In the past I sought perfection, I was only satisfied when my handmade objects looked as perfect as machine-made ones. Now it’s the opposite, I embrace the beauty of imperfections that make handcrafted objects truly special. While I don't identify with a specific movement, I resonate with the Japanese philosophy of "wabi-sabi", which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and impermanence.




Given our shared commitment to sustainable design, can you elaborate on your choice of materials, particularly brass, and how you ensure your pieces are environmentally responsible?
I am deeply concerned by the overproduction and overconsumption of our time. When I started, I even had doubts if I should make objects, we have more than enough already. But I think it is worth making something with quality that lasts. I choose materials like brass and bronze for their durability and timeless appeal. They age gracefully, developing a beautiful patina that adds character over time. Additionally, their recyclability ensures a minimal environmental impact.
Tigmi translates to 'my home' in the Berber language. What do you hope your pieces bring to the homes they are destined for?
I hope my work brings joy and inspiration to your homes, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences.
What’s next for EVAANNA?
While hardware has been my focus, I'm excited to venture into new territories. My next collection will feature other functional items for the home, offering a fresh perspective on everyday objects. I can’t say more, I still have a lot of work ahead of me!
