Designvonal
The biggest challenge today’s artists have to face is keeping pure thought awake, and liberating judgement-free emotions. In the age of technology and media, it is difficult to create a direct relationship between creator and receiver. Designvonal is an art studio, an unconventional experiment of a team of young Hungarian artists. When designing products, practicality is their main focus. If you have a kid, or you feel like one; if you are independent or you depend on fashion; if your life is complete with friends or you’d like to be different every day; if you feel safe when you are alone, or rather with your family being around – here you will find the most practical accessories for your daily life.

At My Day Collection, they believe that the perfect harmony of colours, fabrics and cut lines speak volumes about each piece of garment – this belief is reflected wonderfully in the items they sell. Besides brands like Sandro Ferrone, Imperial, Please, Viccolo, Kontatto and Ovyé, the shop also features the fashion lines of a number of contemporary Hungarian designers, including Konsanszky, Cukovy, Vanda Ferencz, NYD Design and Ilyés Juli.
pointOne
The new design centre of the Hungarian capital is located at Szabadság tér: instead of a traditional showroom, pointOne is a more complex place with different parts that are either strongly, or loosely connected to each other. The unique environment makes this spot not only stylish, but absolutely outstanding. Walking through pointOne, you will see how it can easily inspire interior designers and architects alike. The idea was to combine the ordinary showroom experience with the great possibilities of a meeting point. PointOne offers a wide range of interior decor items, presenting such brands as Florim, Diesel Living, Cedit, Kaza Concrete, Milliken and many more.
wonderLAB
The special concept is a designer shop, a community, a place to present the works of 30 talented young Hungarian artists: at wonderLAB you cannot only see the works of the designers, but you can also have a chance to meet them in person, which promises a brand new shopping experience. Bags for men and women, dresses, shoes, accessories – even for dogs – can be found in the headquarters of contemporary fashion. The second best thing about wonderLAB? You can buy everything for a reasonable price, cheaper than you could in any other shop!
