DESPLAY

PLAYFUL DESIGN WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN
October 2, 3, 9, 10. 15:00–17:00

At the playful program the slogan of this year's Budapest Design Week, „Design – For Use” is turned into a question: „Design – How could you use it?”. “In the first part of the exciting afternoon we talk and think about useful and beautiful objects that have become the organic parts of our lives. Following a short break we turn each and everyone into a designer and work together to design the objects of the future creating the first prototypes using paper, plastic, waste materials. We await primary school children and their attendants!”

FÖRDŐS JEWELLERY STUDIO

October 5, 9. 14:00 – 20:00

Fördős Jewellery Studio was founded by László Fördős and his son, Bence in 1992. Bence is characteristic of an urge for inspiration and to make his creations personal. In his work he likes to combine special materials with precious metal: titan, alloy steel, aluminum, exotic trees, bone, leather, acryl, rubber and precious stones. In his pieces created with the use of novel technical and formal solutions his approach to wearability is an important criterium. Visitors of the studio can be part of the birth of a new object that can be won after Budapest Design Week by Open Studio visitors at a draw.

KEPP SHOWROOM

October 6, 9. 16:00 - 20:00

Five young artists – five different personalities, still related by a kind of common intellectuality. The showroom was founded last year by Anett Hajdú, Teréz Havancsák, Szandra Hofstädter, Adél Kovács and Dóri Tomcsányi and it called the attention of the profession to itself right away with the bravery and experimental spirit of its collections. They are preparing a project combining media art and fashion for the studio visit and work together with Márton Juhász and László Kiss of Kitchen Budapest to prepare movement sensor clothing woven of sounds.

Stylist cards

October 9. 10:00 - 14:00

In the last decade we have experienced an amazingly fast development of the stylist profession in Hungary. What is more, these tirelessly renewing creative professionals have by now become indispensable – there are no glossies, no photo sessions, no fashion shows, no stylish spaces, nor spectacular gastronomic experiences without them. At Design Terminal's satellite exhibition stylists move to the forefront from the background and hand over their cards in the form of mini interiors drawing up their personal visions about the world of fashion and design.

Organised by Design Terminal and Code-Decode Showroom

NEGATIVE VARIETÉ PHOTO INSTALLATION

BASED ON SERIES OF TAMAS BUJNOVSZKY
October 9. 20:00

Movement exhibition, silhouettes giving the experience of space. Tamás Bujnovszky is one of the most popular photographers of our age whose responsive pictures define a new category, create the genre of light-poetry. One of his rare topics is grasping the world of theater productions. This time the audience can get to know his new artistic voice as the interpreter of the negative VARIETÉ shadow dance theatre performance. The photos composed by the effects of shadow and light redefine the space of the Sunshine-studio along the lines of an exceptional concept. The photo imprint of the László Moholy-Nagy related performance appears as an unusual installation.
(The exhibition can be visited free of charge with tickets valid for the day of visit to any Nagymező street theatre!)

Organised by Viktória Szépvölgyi and the Hungarian House of Photography
