The Felhő (meaning “cloud” in Hungarian) lamp series were designed by the team of designers known as the Opteam group – consisting of industrial designers György Radnóti and Attila Bárkányi and interior designer Erika Kovács and János Bánáti – that holds a prominent place in Hungarian design history from several aspects.
In addition to the Felhő set completed in 1976, they designed several other lamp and furniture collections, and even designed an information system for the city of Dunaújváros, but it was undoubtedly this collection building on simple forms that brought Opteam the much deserved success and fame both within and outside of Hungary.
