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.
