Budapest Design Week
Posted by Budnews · Sep 26, 2016

Everything about design: from industrial design to fashion, from interior design to designer graphics, from service design to UX/UI design.

We’re pretty sure you don’t know even the half of the meaning of the world „design”. Because it’s not (only) about fashion. Design week event series takes place every autumn (this year from 23 September to 2 October) by focusing on a theme or introducing an honorary guest country. It’s a 10-day festival of programs, which marks a strong position in the long line of European festivals. The festival offers more than 100 programs tis year: apart from social usefulness, it attempts to place an emphasis on the economic role of design: it aims to draw the attention of economic policy-makers and Hungarian entrepreneurs to the potentials of design, the importance of a design-conscious way of thinking, which supports the competitiveness of Hungarian businesses and provides them with a competitive edge over rivals by delivering more added value.

This is quite the same thing why Design Week was founded many years ago. The original aim was to contribute to raising social awareness of the economic and social role of design, enhancing trust in design and facilitating communication between the actors of this field. This series of events is supposed to call the attention of economic policy-makers and Hungarian businesses to the potentials of design: design integrated in business processes and corporate culture creates new quality and by adding value to the products and services, it raises competitiveness and provides a competitive edge over peer companies.

Budapest Design Week says much more about design than you may think. Sees design as a set of innovative tools and approach, which would harmonically meet the functional and social demands and produce an indispensable device for the creation of products and services. To support this aim, the events include programs both for the public at large (inaugurations of exhibitions, programs for children, thematic tours, workshop visits) and for the profession (round table discussions, professional lectures, conferences, prize winning galas, etc.), and other elements that would explicitly support the work of economic policy-makers (investors’ meetings, introduction of case studies, lectures, workshops). Beside their own programs, organisers also provide a chance for professional partners to introduce themselves (museums, institutions, schools, shops, design studios, galleries, etc.). Budapest Design Week staff is striving to produce a diversity of genres so that the public could enjoy a great variety of the appearance of design, from industrial design to fashion, from interior design to designer graphics or from service design to UX/UI design.

The participation is highly recommended, for more information about the event visit facebook.
