Time for Change

Curatorial Statement
We are witnessing an interesting time in history, that will irreversibly CHANGE the way we relate to objects and spaces; the way we design buildings or imagine flows and interactions; and even the way we think about society as a whole. Therefore, in the future, design and architecture will have to meet other challenges, and the role of creativity and innovation will probably increase, as we will need to find better ways to transform challenges into opportunities, resilience into antifragility, as well as to discover and design new, more inclusive, and more environmentally friendly production processes or products.
The Romanian Collection showcases a series of conceptual design projects signed by emergent young designers whose practices focus on processes and celebrate experiment as an essential part of the creative process. It also acknowledges adaptation as an essential ingredient. The collection investigates the stages and drivers of CHANGE and how design can contribute to a better future, by deconstructing the creative process.
Despite the fact that they come from a design scene where, up until 30 years ago, works were not individually credited and creative contribution was recognized very little, the new generation of Romanian designers masterfully manages to prove the importance of tradition, crafts, collaboration, and creativity, driven, this time, by common beliefs and values. In a better future.
