Budapest: design city

Do you connect the words 'Budapest' and 'design'? I bet you don't. If I'm right, then you should better read this post and change your mind!


Budapest is not just a capital city in Central Eastern Europe (CEE), it's becoming a capital of design for its region. There is no design scene in the CEE which you could compare with the Budapest scene: loads of galleries, modern architecture, workshops and universities (like the world-famous Moholy-Nagy Uni) and design shops. There's also a Wallpaper*CityGuide of Budapest, which means, that the city is already on the map of the world of design.

The most exciting about Budapest design is its combination of contemporary arts and traditional Hungarian motives like the tulip. Many of Budapests young designers create clothes, bags or other works inspired by the city and its culture. The 'city collection' of Bolt or the works of Camou are the best examples. These designers appreciate the liveliness and the special atmosphere of Budapest.

There are some of the best shop to buy real Hungarian design. No kitsch souvenirs, only the best of Budapest design! But there are not only shops: don't miss the WAMP, whe Hungarian Design Market, every month on a sunday in the heart of Budapest! For more informations, click here.

The NYT (New York Times for all illiterated people) also reported about the fresh and young design scene of Budapest, read it here.

It's summer and it's time for modern & comtemporary dance performances in Vienna! The ImPulsTanz festival has begun on the 16th July and it will end on the 16th August, so you have to run for the tickets! You can see performances of truly famous and appriciated artists like Xavier Le Roy (F), Oliver Dubois (F), Liquid Loft (AT/CHN), Anne Juren (F/AT), etc. It sounds more like a French dance festival, but no, it's just international.
