This year’s Design Week, which is the 12th in a row, focusses on homeyness and coziness, as well as on designing liveable spaces for every-day use, as the reaction to our accelerated lifestyle was born in the form of a brand new concept named „slow life”. This in turn has been reinforced by the formulas which have been changed as a result of the long lasting economic crisis. The value of individual ideas and solutions has grown considerably, which reflects a tendency revealing a basic change of directions witnessed in contemporary design as well. Events of the Design Week taking place in 2015 clearly show the influence of this tendency, which meanwhile establishes closer and closer associations that connect the wide-ranging areas of creativity with the other branches of economy and arts.
