Where to see real Contemporary Hungarian Design?

The monthly WAMP design fair has become one of the most important cultural and design forums in Budapest. In the summer Erzsébet square (former bus station) and in winter Gödör Klub hosts the event.

WAMP was established in 2006 with the aim to bringing designers closer to public and to creating a common platform for unique, quality and available design objects.

Unique Jewellery

Jewellery, graphic design, textiles, ceramics, glassware, recycling objects as well as  toy design objects are presented by designers and some galleries present their works on the fair. The special atmosphere of the fair was once a novelty in Budapest but became an awaited regular event  after becoming generally known.

Louis Vuitton store opening in Budapest Andrassy ut.

“Hello Darlin’ Je voudrais bien m’acheter un petit sac avant d’aller diner…“

Hmmm… Be a litlle patient sweety, you’ll be able to replace your “petit sac” after the opening of Louis Vuitton store in Andrassy ut, next the Opera House…

This is what Yves Carcelle, the boss of Vuitton is saying :

« On nous proposait des magasins dans le centre de la ville, piétonnier et trop commercial. Notre souhait était d’aller près de l’Opéra, sur l’avenue Andrassy, l’avenue du luxe au XIXe siècle. Cela nous a pris cinq ans, mais nous venons de signer. »

Rough translation : “We’ve been proposed with shops in the city center, in pedestrian street and too commercial (he is probably refering Vaci ut.). Our wish was to go close to the Opera, on the Andrassy avenue , the avenue of the luxury at the XIXe century. That took five years to us, but we have just signed.

Well done Yves !
