About
The Designer and the Brand
Zsuzsi
Being a self-taught glass artist I design and make fused glass, modern jewelry and small objects of art for women with style.
My glass enthusiasm comes from my family. My father was a glass industry engineer, later running his home business. I grew up with glass everywhere around the house. I played hide-and-seek around big sheets of glasses. Later on I studied and researched glass at the university where I mastered in Architecture.
After my kids were born I realized that architecture projects are way too big for me if I wanted to raise my kids myself. First, I started designing and making fused glass, modern jewelry, as a hobby. In a year it became a business. Some people say what a big change. I don’t think so! Designing and creating has always been part of my life. The only thing that changed is the scale.
“My main aim is to see the beauty in the material, to grab the moment and find the form thereto which enhance and enchant the glass.”

These three words characterise the fused glass, modern jewellery best besides the personal dedication seen in almost every item. I love retro inspired simple modern shapes and bold colors.
My small and thriving business was established in 2007 under the name of panyizsuzsi in Hungary. Since panyizsuzsi – my name – is hard to spell for foreigners, I have chosen my slogan bold●color●glass to be my international brand name. My start-up capital was very little. The first years I was the coder, the marketing assistant and the jewelry designer at the same time. I worked hard in our spare room and reinvested all my income for 4 years before I paid myself for the first time.
In my business I aim to help other mothers by providing jobs for them. For this reason I have only women co-workers at bold●color●glass. I work full time, my assistant and glass technician part time while others like my marketing or pr consultants are based on projects. I am proud of having set up a great team in 5 years!
In 2010 bold.color.glass received the PAKK packaging design award! More…
By 2011 the business grew out the spare room. For sustainibility reasons I decided to stay at home and build a bigger studio in our attic. This way the time and money I save on transportation can be spent with my family. I entered the Make Your Dreams Come True! competition, funded by Budapest Bank, a local commercial bank. As the winner of the business category and was awarded $5000 grant for the building costs. The studio was built in the summer of 2011. The new bold.color.glass studio perfectly fit my needs both functionally and aesthetically.

„Cindarella had glass shoes. Every little girl wanted one for herself. Since glass shoes are symbols we can wear them otherwise: we can become Cindarellas in panyizsuzsi glass jewels. You just have to find the forms and colours that suit you and then there you will be in your own glass piece tailor-made for you and there is no fairy tale prince who would think otherwise afterwards.”
Orsolya Karafiáth, Hungarian writer and poet
