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.

The aim of the initiative is to support and promote contemporary Hungarian design, as well as to enhance demand for design in everyday life.

For goodness sake, it’s an art piece! I don’t understand why some people would get so upset over a small thing. Please do not mix art with religion!

Finally, do keep us updated with the relocation of the melting cow as I will be travelling to Budapest and I’m determined to see it .

Here she is at Vörösmarty ter:
