Mission

 

What does the abbreviation of WAMP stands for? This is the most frequent question people ask

us. In short Sunday Design Market (Vasárnapi Művész Piac), in more detail it is a design fair

which provides platform for Hungarian designers to show their work to a larger public in the fields

of fashion, accessories, jewellery, home decoration, photo or gastronomy. Beyond that WAMP is

also a community spot where creators, visitors of all generations, professionals in the creative

industries and those interested in design and fashion can all meet up and where you can bring

along your family, your friends or your favourite pet too.

 

Through WAMP we strive to show that design is not just an abstract concept but also an exciting

opportunity which we can all incorporate into our daily lives. That there is a middle way between

fast fashion and luxurious brands, and shopping is not necessary an impersonal hassle but if we

devote time for it, it can be a great experience. That being unique is a value, and handcraft can

indeed be modern and exciting.

 

Beyond our steady locations at the capital, we often take part at festivals and other venues

throughout the country. WAMP has been a regular spot at Sziget Festival for years now, one of

the most significant European festivals, but we have also visited cities in the countryside

like Sopron, Szolnok or Kecskemét or the Valley of Arts Festival (Művészetek Völgye).

Each year we take part at Design Week Budapest with our most outstanding designers with

various themes and programs.

 

We are keen to present talented Hungarian creators internationally as well cooperating with

artists worldwide. Since 2014 we have been organising regular fairs in the inner city of Vienna at

Museumsquare with more hundred designers from the Middle-European region. With the support

of Visegrad Fund we have hosted designers from the Visegrad countires (Poland, Czech

Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) more times.

As successful international projects we have introduced the work of Hungarian creators in

Shanghai, London, Helsinki, Peking and Bratislava. And the future is just ahead of us...)
