Staged every year in May, Romanian Design Week is a 10 days festival that promotes design as a pad for cultural, social and economical growth. By promoting interesting ideas, energy and dynamism, vibrant exhibitions and extraordinary collaborations, RDW shows that Romanian design is so much more than what you can see at a first look. Events and showcases focus on product and industrial design, furniture, graphics, fashion, architecture an interior design. Besides the curated formats of the Main exhibition, the range of themes is also extended and transmitted by our partners, which host and organize connected events. Romanian Design Week sees itself as a festival for and of the public and our aim is to make design accessible to a broad-based public. 30.000 design aficionados visited, each year, our main exhibition and the galleries, design studios and collateral events that were part of the RDW program. |

MAIN EXHIBITION The main exhibition includes, every year, over 150 projects of more than 130 designers, design and architecture studios. A board of curators selects the participants of the main exhibition, gathering under the same roof the best creative work developed by Romanian designers, artists and architects. This year location will be revealed in April, so stay close for news. In 2016, the host of the Main Exhibition was Piața Amzei, a space which is the result of a contest from 2006, organized in partnership with the Romanian Architects' Order.

| GUEST COUNTRY The festival’s international flair is reinforced by the introduction of a guest country. Up until now, these have included Netherlands (2014) and Denmark, Finland, Island, Norway and Sweden with a common project (2015). Besides the comprehensive network that has been built up over recent years by Romanian Design Week, creating multiple synergies, the great advantage for guest country primarily derives from media presence and publicity (local and international). In addition we invite international journalists and guide them through the festival, sometimes in individually planned tours. 2017 guest country soon to be announced, so stay close for news. |
