WAMP goes Fashion!
WAMP Fashion! – An irregular showroom at WAMP! Selected, young designers will built their own little showrooms on the gallery of the B hall, where they will introduce their spring-summer collection! A few names from the new generation of design, who will be there for sure: Vágó Réka, Mojzes Dóra, Hegedűs Zsanett-AIAIE, Zoe Phobic, Fehér Design, Zagabo, Non+, Imago Mundi, Artista, Schilling Kolos.
To the WAMP in a mask!
On the 20th of February, the official 2011 WAMP season will begin! Since the Christmas WAMP series was a great success, we’ll stay at Millenáris, and also we’ll keep the gastro section as well, since it has stood the test of time!
Triple WAMP in December enriched with Gastro section!
In December there will be three WAMPs in a raw at Millenáris, and each and every one of them will be at least two times bigger than the usual ones! There will be more than 200 designers and thanks to the organization of Lila Füge - who is a well known gastro blogger – there will be a whole gastro section, representing all kind of design-gastro treats: chocolates, wines, olive oils, chutney, confectioneries, cookbooks.
Prepare for Christmas in time!
November is the month when you can prevent the most feared “last minute Christmas rush”, if you are for-seeing enough! Visit WAMP on the 14th of November, and you’ll be able to walk around freely among the designers, have a look at their works (even twice if you feel like!) and take your time to make the best decision on what to give to whom. It is the best time for brainstorming, and for selecting the perfect presents!
WAMP and Pecha Kucha Night at Design Week!
Here comes the Design Week and WAMP! This year, the design market will be the closing event of the ten-day long program series organized by our upper neighbour at Erzsébet square, the Design Terminal. This year’s event is the 7th in raw, and its main theme is the social and economic usefulness of design, or rather the design’s problem solving ability. Its slogan: Design – live with it! In the first ten days of October, DESIGN can come along your way at each corner of the city, while on the closing day, WAMP will offer you special extras. Let’s see what these are exactly!
Grass ring and heart-shaped necklace at WAMP design fair
If you have always been longing for a grassring, a snail ring, or a heart-shaped necklace, all you have to do is visit the WAMP design fair. Designer of the month Gaál Göngyvér’s will be there to offer you these unique pieces at her stand. Her jewels are ideal not only for the extravagant, but for everyone. Traditional forms just as special materials are typical characteristics of her works. She uses strong contrasts such as red flowers in green grass, black necklace with vibrant, red heartshapes and offers her work to modern women.
WAMP designers are busy this August as beside the regular design fair on Erzsebet square 18 WAMP designers and collectives will exhibit their latest projects in futuristic visions in the fields of jewellery, fashion design, textile, graphic design, interior and product design on the Helsinki Design Week. WAMP has chosen to present design concepts that reflect the way Hungarian designers think about tomorrow, today. Time Drops of WAMP will be presented from 27th of August till 6th of October.
Festival, festival, festival
Now first mini WAMP at Sziget Festival!!! Come and visit the Hungarian designers while you are having a party! If then your ear got clogged up from the bass and you would fancy wearing other clothes than your military trousers, come and relax on the design fair after the Saturday night’s SZIGET Festival party or before the last get together on Sunday. A good reason for visiting is to look at the exciting stand of the designer of August, Sándor Lakatos. The pieces of his menswear collection could easily be worn by the Muse performing right after the WAMP fair on Sunday.
WAMP 4th B-day
We turned 4 years old!!!! In the previous football world championship’s year, on a hot summer day in July, WAMP began its design-conqueror way. In the time that passed between the two football-events, excellent design veins, musicians, guests and of course the audience ensured the superb mood on more than 50 fairs. Let’s say thank you all!
Lovely creatures at WAMP and Sziget - WAMP UP Award ceremony!
Another sleepy Sunday going completely to waste because you’re too much of a sloth to do anything meaningful? Well, rise and shine and bring some color into your weekend by schlepping yourself down to the heart of the city and joining the seekers and creators of colorful Budapest style. In July, PUcc Sweetwear Design’s lovely small figures, all in candy colors will overrun the Erzsébet tér. So don’t expect anything other than koala rabbits, cube-shaped teddy bears, squint-eyed ninjas and a frilly woman collection at the fair.
