The Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency is proud to announce ‘Design Walk in Budapest’, an exhibition highlighting Hungary’s thriving creative community curated by Rossana Orlandi and on show at Triennale Milano on occasion of Salone Del Mobile (15 - 21 April).

This exhibition celebrates the creative ambience of Budapest, capital city of Hungary cradled by the Danube as a nexus of cultural fusion, showcasing its architectural and design heritage through a contemporary lens. It emphasizes the city's unique ability to preserve its multifaceted historical traditions while embracing modernity.

Budapest's design evolution mirrors its rich history, a blend of influences that converge to form something truly authentic. Each era births new communities, adding layers to the contemporary urban tapestry, prompting us to confront, honor and rediscover the city's inherent character.

As a bridge connecting generations, cultures, and visions, Budapest, the eclectic, cosmopolitan but human-scale city epitomizes a delicate balance between East and West, tradition and modernity. Here, contemporary designers and visual artists play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between past and present through unexpected creativity, seamlessly integrating timeless aesthetics with avant-garde perspectives.

This exhibition serves as a curated exploration of Budapest's artistic soul, guided by visionary designers and artists. Their reinterpretations of the city's architectural marvels breathe new life into historical monuments, infusing them with contemporary relevance.
