Design Match 2008
Design Match 08 is back
Design Match 08 – a traveling design exhibition – is back after a successful 9- month tour in Central Europe
Design Match is a unique international project, which confronts various national designs in a much uninfluenced way – therefore the name Design Match – indicating an amicable competition among the participating designers.
Due to its prosperous first year, this project was able to persist and is now being continued. Design Match’s second year consisted mainly of an exhibition of objects made by designers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria. Each of the participating countries hosted Design Match for a certain period of time. Design Match not only helped Košice, a Slovak city, to be titled European Capital of Culture, but it also introduced the Hungarian Design Week as one of the highlights.
The decent number of visitors in the second year was 37.000 and the third sequel of Design Match is going to be in 2010.
Thanks to numerous coworkers, promoting partners and collaborating granting organizations this non-profit project could be established.
The exhibition ended at its fourth halt in Budapest on December the 3rd 2008.
Friday, February 6th 2009, is the commemorating day of Design Match 08
A meeting for journalists and newscasters is going to be held in the showroom egoé mmcité in Karlíně – Pobřežní Street at 11 am.
In the afternoon there is going to be a presentation for all the supporters and friends of Design Match.
Finally, at 8 in the evening, there is going to be a Design Match After Tour Party for all visitors and supporters in the newly opened club ESSE, right next to Trade Fair Palace, the place where the project initially started.
