About the Item

Striking copper wall cladding designed by Edit Oborzil and Tibor Jeney, cca. 1968 for the Hotel Helikon - Balaton Keszthely, Hungary. Artistic rectangular copper wall tiles with an abstract sun motif in a concave, convex form or with a round recess in the centre. Dimensions of each element: height c. 20 cm, width c. 10 cm. The set includes a total of 704 individual elements. When assembled, they reach a height of c. 220 cm and a width of c. 640 cm cm. Each element has 8 holes on the side for mounting. The elements can be freely combined. Please note that the individual elements are disassembled. Edit Oborzil was born in Budapest in 1921 and died in 1996. During her studies she met her future husband, the craftsman Tibor Jeney. Their complementary work resulted in outstanding creations. After graduating from the Academy, Oborzil became a versatile artist. She was also commissioned to design the copper panels for the interior of the legendary Hotel Helikon at Lake Balaton in Hungary. The hotel interior was also designed by other renowned Hungarian artists of the 1960s and 1970s, including the painter Gabor (Gabriel) Szinte and the ceramist Janos (John) Majoros. The hotel was built in 1968-1971 and was the biggest investment of the socialist government. The Helikon Hotel in Keszthely opened its doors on 9 May 1971 and was considered the most elegant and modern hotel on Lake Balaton at that time. After the reunification of Germany and the resulting changes in Eastern Europe, the hotel remained in operation until 2016 before closing for renovation work. The owner had been a regular guest of the hotel himself in the 1990s and was able to witness the exceptional style and beauty of its interior. Provenance: Formerly part of the interior of the Hotel Helikon at Lake Balaton in Hungary.
