The porcelains produced by Zoltán Lublóy have been presented under the brand name Designlubloy in many Hungarian and international magazines and exhibitions. He aims at bringing beauty, humour and style in our everyday lives with his objects – his colourful badminton salt shakers and cactoo vases have become widely known. Every one of his objects and prototypes is produced in the studio.
During the Open Studios program visitors can see how his one-off mugs are made and they can even prepare their own mugs; in the framework of the workshop bazaar visitors can also buy Designlubloy products.

Garden Studio was founded by Bálint Sikó web-designer and Dóri Tomcsányi fashion designer in the summer of 2011. Studio, playground, workshop, showroom and webshop – a meeting point for the diversified circuits of visual communication and fashion design. No surprise that their introductory project was conceived by a creativity moving on the frontiers.
With the collaboration of Tamás Herczeg (Bios), Dávid Mórász (Micro.D) and Márk László (Blakshep) for this year's Design Week Garden Studio built a virtual dressing room where the autumn-winter collection of Dóri Tomcsányi can be tried without changing. The project is based on the kinetic technology used in video games.

The studio was founded by Zsanett Benedek and Dániel Lakos in 2009. Even though both of them being architects, they comply with any assignment related to the profession, thus their portfolio includes award-winning interior decoration projects, installations and furniture designs alike. Beyond designing they often produce their own objects being faithful to the „design & build" approach.
In the framework of the Open Studios program they present their most recent, never published designs and furniture.

Our traditional and popular tour programs call the attention of the people living in Budapest to the treasures of the city that are hardly known, or receive less attention than they deserve. This year participants are introduced into the historical and contemporary architectural glass artworks of Pest's downtown area known the world over, while the tour honouring the wrought and cast iron beauties of the city aim at discovering treasures discreditably neglected by the inhabitants of the city. The lucky ones will have the chance to visit the Schiffer-villa designed by József Vágó and is a representative of the late secession, then can take a walk among the colourful, modern looking houses of the experimental Óbuda housing estate developed in the sixties. The city walks are led and made unforgettable by expert “tourist guides”.
Registration for the Design Tours is between 19th and 23rd September by e-mail: erzsebet.ruboczki@designterminal.hu. Maximum 35 persons can participate in each tour, so registrations are accepted and confirmed in the order of receiving the e-mails. We can not accept registrations that arrive earlier or later.

Box houses, row-houses, point-blocks surrounded by green areas. The history of the experimental Óbuda housing estate developed in the beginning of the 1960s presents the essence of one of the possible solutions for the post-war housing shortage.

The tours are led by Márta Branczik, curator of the exhibition and art historian of Kiscelli Museum.

Old, run-down, boring objects gain new life at the workshops. What would you do with grandma's old food-mixer, grandpa's old records, or your old toys? No one uses them any more, but you would not like to throw them away? Let us recolour the old objects together, let us give them a new function! Bring the objects you can no longer use at home, build from what has been hidden in the cellar and let us bring them back to life!
