EXTRAVERAGE IS THE BRAND that
identifi es the products and the design of
Karoly Kiralyfalvi, an independent visual
artist/graphic designer who lives and
works in Budapest.
He is passionate about drawing and
computers and has been interested in the
visual arts since he was a boy, infl uenced
by his father who was an artist, a poet,
and a sculptor. In 2001, he began to
design printed projects and websites for
language. The infl uence of urban art is
also apparent – embodied in customized
spray cans, skateboards, and sneakers.
Extraverge believes that it is paramount
for a designer to maintain a fresh
approach and to work with different
clients and themes. His aesthetic style,
according to the artist himself, “is rooted
in the seventies’ aesthetic with a little
contemporary make-up.”
