Budapest Select - Patterns of Being collective exhibition explores the role of humans in shaping the world through the intersections of design and art - portraying humanity as a being drifting in currents, striving for change, accepting fate, living in cycles, and taking responsibility.
The exhibition presents the reflections of contemporary Hungarian creators on the call to action “Be the Project” across five thematic sections, responding sensitively to cultural, social, ecological, and material‑ and form‑related challenges. The 26 selected artists and designers offer works that not only hold aesthetic value but also carry intellectual depth: exploring the possibilities of material use, the memory embedded in form, cultural heritage, the reinterpretation of craft and industrial traditions, the relationship between humans and nature, and questions of ethical responsibility.
The spatial concept of the Budapest Select – Patterns of Being exhibition was designed by the VÜ Architects firm, based on the decision of the advisory panel. The project contributes to the international presentation of contemporary Hungarian design, translating the questions of human existence and responsibility to spatial experience, and supports the successful showcase of Hungarian designers.
The project's aim is to provide the audience of Milan Design Week with a diverse yet coherent picture of the current aspirations of the Hungarian creative scene and its representatives - those who, through the transformations of the present, are sketching a delicate map of the future.
Curator: Hanna Imre.
