Workshops

In the past few years Design Week has collected a significant amount of flags and tarpaulins as a result of its own programs and outdoor advertising campaigns. While working hard to increase the visibility of design in Budapest, flags were produced for Elisabeth bridge, a wide range of programs like Open Studios, the Design Week Discount and satellite programs were organised, yet in the process we also produced, there is no gainsaying it, waste. But we can not accept that... so this year we organise a free, two-day workshop in cooperation with Makett Labor where the used Design Week materials can reborn in the form of pretty, original bags and pouches.
Participation is free and the workshop lasts until the stocked materials run out!

Loffice and Miele organises an unusual culinary program where design, gastronomy and the world of public spirit meet. In the workshop participants can learn how to prepare dishes that meet the requirements of a conscious diet at a communal cooking show led by Sándor Kis, the chef of Miele and also experience how the shape of the glass effect wine drinking with the help of the Riedel company.

At the workshop organised during Design Week caps, headbands and hats embossed with headphones are being made.

Blood Mountain Foundation (BM) in cooperation with London-based Technology Will Save Us (TWSU) organises a workshop contributing to the Stories From Central Europe exhibition with the aim of uncovering a number of local design issues and develop a new body of work to be completed with the public's participation during the workshop. The result will be a collection of ideas, objects, products, services and experiences where participants will be able to produce solutions and ideas for shared design issues. The preface to this workshop is that technology and design can facilitate everyone in becoming more resourceful and independent in one’s everyday lives. The event will address the benefits of teaching and practising design for people without prior experience and will explore alternative teaching methods outside existing professional and vocational training methods.

Primary school children and their parents, as well as everyone interested in space, interior decoration and likes talking about spaces he/she feels at ease in are welcome to the Sunday afternoon program introducing participants into the secrets of interior decoration. Building scale-models, decorating spaces are also part of the program, but participants can also learn creative ways of living in a small flat and how scents and lights effect us and what our homes are really like.
