BUDAPEST SELECT

Budapest Select, the umbrella brand that brings together the very finest of Hungarian design, presents a major exhibition project commissioned by the Hungarian Fashion &Design Agency and curated by the designer Gáspár Bonta. The exhibition intends to provide a cross-section of contemporary design in Hungary, a country that is positioning itself among the most interesting in the international creative scenario. Thirty-seven designers whose collections tell stories from afar, in which tradition plays a key role in the production process, one characterized by significant traces of craftsmanship, contamination with art, and a marked sense of belonging to both a territory and a community. Budapest Select showcases poetic yet familiar design, far removed from the logic of mass production. It does not wish to forget its roots, but rather reinterprets them through an approach with a strong experimental imprint, coupled with technology and highly expressive innovation. Tradition emerges from its static nature to become an abstract and dynamic tool with which to reinterpret the present.
