Wood&Wool: Romanian Contemporary Design

Rumänisches Kulturinstitut Wien

4.10.2014, 6pm

The works of 23 young designers from Romania exemplify the latest trends in product design in their home country. Curated by Attila Kim & Ioana Leca in partnership with Romanian Design Week, the project is based on preference for natural materials and the designers’ interest in traditional arts & crafts. Supported by the Romanian Rural Museum, the show ranges over traditional objects, contemporary products and a ceramics collection. A discussion will focus on the topic of the permanent dialogue between design and handicraft with reference to current trends.
