Why Visit 360 Design Budapest?
There’s more to this exhibition than just browsing beautiful furniture, innovative objects, and contemporary art. 360 Design Budapest is designed to immerse visitors in the diverse world of Central European design, letting you discover how creative minds from Hungary and its neighbors push the boundaries of tradition and modernity. Whether you love stylish interiors, architecture, or artistic expression, this event is built to spark inspiration and dialogue.
Meet Leading Designers and Their Works
Stroll through installations by Michaela Vrbková and experience spaces that invite reflection on beauty, fear, and cultural identity. Admire RAP’s handcrafted wood furniture, combining generational expertise with modern aesthetics. Explore the surreal realism in Hrant Khachatryan’s works, which blur memory and imagination using photography and AI, or see Codee Home’s innovative approach to furniture design merging craftsmanship with technology.
Boba Ceramics displays elegant ceramic art inspired by nature and geometry, while Project Para, led by architect Alina Moise and strategist Iustin Băisan, provides poetic tactile designs shaped by international vision. Sára Drobíková experiments with glass to bring social topics to life and White Wood Studio partners with Felix Pöttinger to present Hutsul rugs—handcrafted, rooted in centuries-old Ukrainian heritage but with a modern twist.
Explore Maker Excellence and Up-And-Coming Talent
From Boba Ceramics’ blend of tradition and artistry to manufacturers like The Glass-Maker and Sixay Furniture—whose creations demonstrate the enduring value and international appeal of Hungarian design—you’ll encounter objects that reveal stories and skills passed down for generations.
Don’t miss meeting promising new talents like Ditta Sarfenstein, pushing the limits of sculpture by combining reality and the virtual world, or experiencing Drag And Drop’s sustainable design innovations balancing technology and nature.
Enjoy Special Programs and Interactive Workshops
Throughout the exhibition, visitors can join themed guided tours with curators, artists, and experts, like the curator Barna Erdész or leading professionals from Hungary’s art and design scene. Tours run in both Hungarian and English and are a perfect way to gain deeper insights into the logic behind the displays, learn about material choices, or uncover personal stories tied to each work.
Interactive workshops offer hands-on experiences, such as upcycling and bag-making with textile artist Zsófia Szász, analog collage sessions with Szonja Rózsa, or ceramic mural creation at JACQUES Works. There’s even a jazz concert, dance performances, discussions on design’s role in pop culture, and meet-the-designer events where you can connect directly with creators.
