Are you tired of gifts like snow globes or candles in the shape of Santa Claus? Every year the same decorations and the same presents … not original and quite boring. But I found out where and how I can get some creative gifts this year!
The Designist held on the weekend of 20-21 December, The Design Fair- Made in RO, the 5th edition, with the most unique gifts made by Romanian designers. The Christmas edition, called suggestively Design Christmas Magic, impressed everyone with the Romanian design. Over 50 design studios across the country – Bucharest, Cluj, Iasi, Timisoara, even Chisinau, convinced the shoppers with their brand new collections made exclusively for this event.
The most suggestive articles on the shopping list are the unconventional Christmas trees and ornaments, textile design, furniture, lighting, ceramics, illustration, home accessories, toys and sweets.
I enjoyed the cozy and warm atmosphere and the special moments created by the organisers. I enjoyed the raw vegan sweets from Sis’n’me, pop -up café, coffee and tea from Origo (to take home and enjoy with your loved ones) and with the finest recipes specially created by Heidi – who were personalised with quotes and Romanian sayings under our eyes.
“Made in RO” is the biggest design fair in Romania, promoting Romanian designers with a focus on home & deco. The event was part of a series of such events dedicated to Romanian design and creative industries, and will be activated in other times of the year, in contexts that require alternative creative and special gifts.
