06092024 ushers in the Budapest Design Week – Kickoff Exhibition, a dynamic celebration of innovation, creativity, and contemporary design that positions Hungary’s capital as a rising hub in the global design scene. Held at the historic Müpa Budapest and extending into galleries, studios, and pop-up spaces across the city, this annual event brings together architects, product designers, urban planners, and digital artists to showcase cutting-edge concepts and sustainable solutions. From minimalist furniture and smart city prototypes to interactive installations and eco-conscious fashion, the kickoff exhibition sets the tone for a week of inspiration and dialogue.

Now in its 12th edition, Budapest Design Week attracts professionals and enthusiasts from across Europe and beyond. The event emphasizes not only aesthetics but also functionality and social impact, with panels on circular design, urban regeneration, and technology integration. Visitors engage in hands-on workshops, guided tours, and networking sessions, making it a fertile ground for collaboration and creative exchange.
