Abstract
Modem design in Hungary had developed under the influence of Bauhaus in 1930s. Moholy-Nagy, Molnar Forkas and Bortnyik Sandor showed Bauhaus' teaching methods and ideas in the graphic arts magazines. Functionalist architect Molnal who had worked with Gropius contributed on the development of modern Hungarian architecture. Bortnyik founded his free school called "Muhely" (Workshop) in the spirit of Bauhaus in Budapest (1928-38). He had teached the constructivist form, published magazines "Uj Fold", "Plakat" and created commercial posters with Herbert Bayer's universal script. These two streams opened the possibility in the Hungarian modern design field.
