Figurative Sense Our everyday lives are more and more pervaded by technology and the internet, by the use of smart devices. This trend has a significant effect on design as well - for example by challenging designers to make technology an integral part of a wide range of everyday objects, they also have to create designs that are easy and fun to use. The flagship programmes of Budapest Design Week 2014 aim to present the common grounds, the possibilities, the most recent results and current issues of design and technology through case studies, examples, presentations and thought-provoking discussions.
The festival opening exhibition will explore the 2014 focus topic through international and Hungarian works, the Open Studios and the participants of the Design Week Discount will again welcome the general public, while the Design Tours, as well as gastronomy programs will also take place.
Similarly to previous years, the most prestigious awards of the design profession (Hungarian Design Awards, Design Management Award) are also presented in the framework of the festival.
