After posting various topics related to the project The White Night for Product Creators and Designers in the pages of Atelierul– since this project is one of the most important annual events in Romania – it is time for us to look back and present a few summarizing lines about its fourth edition.

Financed by the Administration of the National Cultural Fund, the project The White Night for Product Creators and Designers was run by the team members of the association Atelierul de Creație and coordinated by Mihaela Ion and Teodora Vlădescu. It took place in October and addressed to the public from three cities: Cluj-Napoca (on October 17th), Bucharest (on October 24th) and Timișoara (on October 31st).

What did The White Night for Product Creators and Designers mean?

Apart from names and numbers, The White Night for Product Creators and Designers has answered in the last four years to the needs that the community of designers and product creators from Romania has signaled. The advantages of those who choose to participate, are multiple and include:

  • Networking and diversity

As in previous years, The White Night for Product Creators and Designers managed to create in all three cities mentioned, the specific of a contemporary art gallery and served as a platform dedicated to dialogue between creators and visitors. DJ Never Over and DJ Frunză took care of the atmosphere, bringing the most interesting social chill rhythms and groove influences.

The participants belonging to seven creative fields shared their ideas and techniques to those who came to the exhibition – visitors, bloggers, and photographers. In this way, visual artists, architects, product designers, unique product creators, multimedia designers, graphic designers and sculptors turned shapes, expression and color into three great galleries.

  • Creativity and uniqueness

The 44 exhibitors, genuine creators and designers from Romania, are presented in the pages of The White Night’s catalogue. One can easily notice that the essential thing they have in common is the originality of their brands, a criterion in their selection.
