ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2017 // Play & Rewind @ Vienna Design Week // Just a Band
2017 // Moody
Moody is a limited edition wooden character that changes shape as he changes his state. Rearrange him anyway you feel to create a sculpture that comes straight out of Kitra’s street art interventions.
2017 // Just a Band
Just a band is just a project that makes art accessible to everyone through a collection of paper bands with designs from Romanian artists. It’s a one-time wear accessory and at the same time a strip of art.

2015 resulted in a series of collaborative works between Kitra and multiple artists from different areas of design: Atelier Mustata, Bumbag, Ubikubi- Flying Saucers, Berlin Boombox, Rug by Gur. What they all have in commun is Kitra’s signature patterns.
