A 14^th generation Transylvanian-Hungarian furniture maker, Levente creates vivid hand-painted Vargyas floral carvings for the home and special occasions, including elaborate boxes, children’s furniture for baptisms, and the carved wooden headstones specific to the Carpathian basin of Hungary.

Using organic paints, made by mashing minerals on stone plates to create the rich colors, Levente creates harmoniously-proportioned designs carrying deep symbolism.

His family’s works are used in many places— the carvings are found inside churches, on furniture in homes, on the decorative boxes given at celebrations, and even on household items such as washboards and gates.
