WAMPLITUDE - Vision frames at WAMP
WAMP moves inside from November on to Gödör Klub to welcome everyone on gloomy November and December Sundays. The unique atmosphere of the design market lies in the secret of offering very diverse innovative, modern local design from around 100 designers, while it also gives the opportunity to meet the designers themselves. Those interested in music and animation will be specially treated in November, as WAMP will come forward with animation of Sofita, as well as chill out music from dj Keyser.
WAMP Finn Fatale at Design Week
October is the month when design events are the most intense in the year, so it is at WAMP. Extending its regular activity of the monthly design fair, WAMP comes forward with a large scale special Finnish festival within the framework of the Design Week in October. A Finnish design exhibition, Finnish Hungarian design fair, special Pecha Kucha Night and party are organized. The star designer Harri Koskinen is also in Budapest for the event to give a lecture on his work.
Harri Koskinen is one of the best-known Finnish designers in the world these days. Along the years, he has won several awards. Harri Koskinen’s lecture will take place at 11 am on 9th October 2009 at MOME (Academy of Design and Applied Arts). The lecture promises to get and insight to one of the best-known Finnish designers’ work of these days. He has been working for companies like Artek, Finlandia Vodka, Iittala or a Marimekko, just to mention a few names.
The Finnish design exhibition studies how Finnish design of the 2000s addresses interpretations of nature. It presents the ways in which designers perceive the ever-changing world around them. The dialogue of design and nature is changing. Do the themes of design, art and architecture still reflect the colours, patterns, rhythms and textures of the northern forests? The exhibition features one-off works of applied art along with products manufactured in series, technological innovations and new applications of traditional methods and materials.
The 8th October is the day for the special Pecha Kucha Night and the Party at the Museum of Applied Arts. What sushi is in gastronomy, or sumo in sports, Pecha Kucha is for architecture and design! Short, concise, cool. Pecha Kucha Nights are originated from Tokyo and are organised in two hundred cities worldwide, here architects, designers and artists introduce their work. The secret of the brief, focused and interesting presentations lies in the one and only rule of the night: presenters can show 20 pictures, each for 20 seconds.
Exclusive WAMP Design Fair will come forward within the scope of Finn Fatale programs on 11th October in a special place, the Museum of Applied Arts. A wild range of Hungarian and Scandinavian design products, cool accessories and watches from Aron design store as well as from Hungarian designers will be presented.
