ENCOUNTER. “Romanian Design Week”

This year’s Romanian Design Week (RDW) takes place between May 13-22 in Bucharest, under the #FORWARD concept, and the main program venue will be Combinatul Fondului Plastic.

The central theme of this year’s edition stems from the desire to research, test and design scenarios for a future in which creative communities, guided by the principles of innovation, inclusion, sustainability and collaboration, can conceive more harmonious cities and communities.

This theme will be presented to the general public through a series of exhibitions and events co-produced with some of the most relevant leading creative-cultural organizations in Romania, laying the groundwork for a new beginning, based on experiences, processes and collaborations.

A first highlight for this year will be the opening, during the festival, of the largest Romanian design concept-store in the country, which in 500 square meters will present the entire offer of design objects in the main product categories: fashion, accessories, furniture, objects or art. RDW 2022 will also transform the outdoor space of Combinatul Fondului Plastic into a micro-city of arts and design, offering visitors a daily program of activities, interactive installations, music and events, as well as a dedicated area with food and drinks, at the address of Baiculești Street 29.

Combinatul Fondului Plastic will also be part of the official Museum Night circuit, so RDW 2022 will be open to the public and can be visited on May 14 during extended hours, until midnight.

The program of the 10th edition of RDW will reflect the results of the strategic partnerships that the Institute has established with the Representation of the European Commission in Romania, the Romanian Cultural Institute, the Order of Architects in Bucharest, the Union of Plastic Artists, Combinatul Fondului Plastic, or the Baza Association, as well as collaborations with the Spanish Embassy, NOD makerspace, the Czech Center, the Hungarian Cultural Institute, the French Institute, in addition to the projects signed with more than 50 creative-cultural organizations in Romania.
