You might have come across already one of budapestUNDERGUIDE's Art Nouveau programs (http://szecesszio.eu/en), taken part on a free walk on Saturdays or you might have found one of the treasures on the Urban Geocache game. To get you in the turn of century mood, we will publish from now on regularly something about Art Nouveau, Liberty, Modernismo, Secession, or whatever you might call it in your language.

This week, we have Philantia, a little jewelry box on the menu.

Fairy Tales do come true in Budapest - Sugar Shop design confectionary

We had our design Budapest walk this Sunday. There is plenty to tell you about, we have been in the Zara Design Hotel and than also in Tuzrakter Cultural Centre, and wandered along the Paulay Street where you could easily spend all your earnings on the fancy stylish new-generation Hungarian designer clothes. However, there are some more affordable pieces of fashion, namely the bag collection of Sugar Shop - all edible :D



Down with Viennese Cafe style and long live the Design Futuristic Candy shops!

Design week - brush up your wardrobe in Second hand shops and Designer fairs

Budapest is no Milan in terms of design, but we try to make up for this on the autumn DesignWeek from the 1st of October till the 10th. Models walk up and down the catwalks, studios open up to the public for a few days, special open air expositions can be admired all through the city and you can shop with discounts in designer shops!
